finding next blank repetition in a field

I want to use a start/stop button to track an operator's time. Every time the button is clicked, the time should be recorded in a repeating field. I need to see a list of all start/stop times, and then summarize how much time was spent on the job. How do I automatically jump to the next available (i.e. blank) repetition in that field?

You don't. You use a proper relational design and set up a related table. You can't summarize repeats.

You can do it with repeating fields, but it's not pretty and most of the data in the repeating fields must be manipulated with scripts.

I have attached a sample file that will show one way to do it.

A related file would be a better method - you would not be restricted to a set number of repetitions. The scripts would also be simpler.
