I've done something similar in the past.

There were two key parts to doing it in my case...
1. Use the addobject() command on the form to add the desired objects.
2. I used the stonefield database toolkit and used extended properties to help determine what objects (data entry fields) got added to the form.

You may not want to use SDT to do all this - but if you have a table that keeps track of what objects to add then you can have your form dynamicly create the objects as needed in the init() event of the form.

>I am working on a different data entry approach for a 'grading system' app which allows the user to define his own set of grading criteria for each session. Currently, the app has a data entry UI which captures the scores of each participant per criteria. For example, if the user defines 5 criteria (A to E), the current data entry screen records the score of each participant for Criteria A, then goes on to record the scores for Criteria B and so on..
