How can I create a form that allows the user to add new fields and delete fields. Thus each record will have different number of fields.

The easiest is to create a related table to the form you are on. Create at least four fields in it:

- primary key
- foreign key
- fieldname
- fieldvalue

Make a tableview on this table that display fieldname and fieldvalue. Put it on the main form using a tabpanel. Create a button on the main form that creates a related record in the tabpanel.

How do I go about to create this related table. Will this table created on a different form?  
Sorry, I’m very new to Servoy so there are many things I don’t understand.

Well if you are that new to Servoy I’m not sure this exercise is the right place to start. Have you followed all the tutorials on our website and had a good read through our documentation?

I’ve watched your flash tutorial but haven’t read your documentation.
