Dynamic TextFields

New to forms development. I've found out how to use subforms and 'flowing' pages for multiple line text. Is there a way that the fields can expand as the user inputs text instead of only when the exit the field? Possilby a way to have another form popup, where they enter the data, then a submit button to put in in the original form? I'm open to any and all suggestions.
 
Thanx

In terms of a field expanding to accommodate user input, yes you can use subforms for creating these kinds of flowing fields. You can find samples installed with Designer and on Adobe's Web site.

The last two questions are a bit unclear. You can create what may appear as separate forms using subforms and don't really need to create two forms and transpose data.
