    Nope. This is not the purpose of repeating fields. The only function
that I have been able to acertain for the use of these fields is for
summing up a column of numbers that doesn't need to be searched, sorted,
or anything other then summed. Since this almost never happens, I
usually recommend that you stay away from repeating fields.
