This would be a poor development strategy. It's better to either get all the requirements ahead of time and design those into the solution, or use a portal to a related table that is essentially a user-defined attribute Type and Value.

thank you so much for your response! }:| , im not sure if i explained my self correctly before

if im taking an order and i have only 5 fields for product order data entry and a client ordered 7 products i want to add those fields right there..

another exple is when your attaching a file in gmail you can add extra fields for extra files..

thanks!

It's not necessary to add new fields for multiple items. Instead, you should use a portal to a related table. This type of thing is very common. For details, I'd suggest you read up on portals and relationships.
