I have a problem with this in Designer 7.0. Whilst Designer 7 allows me to specify a minimum count for the instances of a repeating subform, it won't allow me to specify an [i]initial[/i] count.

This causes problems because if I specify a minimum count of 3 it means users can't delete the 3 initial rows.

I tried to get around this by putting the addInstance script in formReady and Initialise events but that created all manner of mayhem in one case causing Designer to crash!

Any suggestions for a workaround?

I belive you can solve this problem by setting the minnimun occurence for the subform to whatever you want in the java script consule leave the minimum occurence in the binding tab but while the sb form is selected use the javascript editor under initialize java script add this
this.occur.min="0";
and then you can start with a minimum occurence of the number in the binding tab but can remove all instances if you like i prefer 0 since if i make a mistake filling in one field i simply delet the whole whole field and start again but use 1 or two makes no difference
