Here's an adapted version of a previous post. This example is using a button to just add however many the user needs one at a time.
Here's the steps for making a subform repeatable (which you'll have to do).
To create a repeating subform
- In the Hierarchy palette, select the parent subform of the subform you want to repeat. (See About subforms).
- In the Object palette, click the Subform tab, and in the Content list, select Flowed.
- Select the subform to repeat.
- In the Object palette, click the Subform tab and, in the Content list, select either Positioned or Flowed.
- Click the Binding tab and select Repeat Subform For Each Data Item.
- To specify the minimum number of repetitions, select Min Count and type a number in the associated box. If this option is set to 0 and no data is provided for the objects in the subform at data-merge time, the subform is not placed when the form is rendered.
- To specify the maximum number of subform repetitions, select Max and type a number in the associated box. If you do not specify a value in the Max box, the number of subform repetitions will be unlimited.
- To specify a set number of subform repetitions, regardless of the quantity of data, select Initial Count and type a number in the associated box. If you select this option and either no data is available or fewer data entries exist than the specified Initial Count value, empty instances of the subform are still placed on the form.
You can use the action builder to generate the new subforms for you, to save coding work.
Here's an example of a form's design view with the action builder open for you to see. I used a job application as my example.
