I am trying to create a similar table to the one MS used to create the absence form template, specifically the "Absence Availability" table. It's using an optional section, but I cannot figure out how they used the duplicate names/fields. Attribute fields seem to only let you duplicate the name once so at most you can have 2 fields named the same. Basically I need the same functionality you would get with a repeating vertical table, but I need to be able to label not only each column but each row as well. I have included an image of the grid from the absense form. If someone can tell me what controls were used and how this was created, it would be very helpful. Please be descriptive as I am a newby to infopath.
