Dynamic Forms with Bindings

Hello All (again!)

Well after several days with no response I decided to update my initial post in hope that it would make it easier for people to understand my problem.

A quick background to my problem:
I was watching Thom Parker's Scripting in Adobe Livecycle Designer Tutorial https://admin.adobe.acrobat.com/_a200985228/p87746471/ and one of things that interest me is the way you can make forms dynamically expand.

I have been playing around with this concept and what I really want to do is connect to an excel file that has a table and expand my pdf document auctomatically using data binding to my excel file.

Please see my document here: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcj7tdvs_4fwbq65qf

My problem is that I can only get the first row to output.

I have checked the following:

1. Saved as dynamic document
2. made sure the form is flowed
3. set minimum count to 1 and maximum has not ben set

I am pretty certain that I need to change the way I set the databind right now it is:
$record.DataConnection.name

I have also tried
$record.DataConnection.name[*]
$record.DataConnection.[*]

neither of these help, what am i doing wrong and how can I go about fixing the problem.

My Product Information:
LiveCycle Designer, Windows
