Can you use repeating fields with CDML?

[Vaughan]

You can display a repeating field on the web, using the [FMP-Repeating: fieldname] CDML tag. The FMP4 reference states:

Repeats the HTML between [FMP-Repeating] and [/FMP-Repeating] for all the repetitions of the specified field. The tag [FMP-RepeatingItem] is replaced with the contents of a specific repetition.

[FMP-Repeating: Extensions]

Alternate phone extensions: [FMP-RepeatingItem]

[/FMP-Repeating]

So no, you cannot address a specific repetition of a field, you get them all.

Now, don't change over to Access because of this. I meet a lot of people who change from Access to FMP because they are jack of the hoops you gotta leap through to get the same functionality (it aint out-of-the-box for Access like it is for FMP).

Instead, change the repeating fields into related fields and protals and voila you're much better off. Repeating fields are not a good idea.

I would like to specify a a repeating field with a certian repetition such as

[FMP-field:fieldname, repetition number]

Can I do this? Is there a way to do it. Some one must know!!! I'm about to scrap this whole project and do it in Access.
