How do I allow users to replicate a part of my form if required?

Hello,

I've created a performance appraisal form using Life Cycle designer 8 and it works well. I have the subforms set to 'Flow' so that the employee can write a lot of text in the fields and it will expand accordingly to describe the various projects they have worked on throughout the year.

I have a text box labeled 'Project' (whey they can enter a description of the project) then under that i have a text box labeled 'Employee Comments' and one labeled 'Manager Comments'.

I have repeated the three text boxes six times to allow for the employees to describe up to six projects, however, it would look a lot better if i repeated it twice, lets say, and then had a button saying 'Click here to add a project'. If they clicked on that, the set of three blank text boxes would appear and they could describe another project. and then possibly 'click here to add another project' and so on.

Is there anyone out there that knows how to do something like that?
