Hi, Tim,
I recently had occasion to do this, in a table. I ended up using the ctable
package. I think there are much more elegant/robust solutions out there, but
this worked for me.
1. In the preamble: \usepackage{ctable}
2. Insert a table in lyx
3. Before you make the table, insert a Box (minipage)
4. Before the table (in the Box), place the latex command (in Evil Red
Text):
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\thempfootnote}
5. Place your first footnote wherever it needs to go in the table
6. At each successive footnote position, place some ERT which reads:
\footnotemark[\value{mpfootnote}]Unfortunately, I haven't taken the time to
figure out what you need to do if you have to do something like
Stuff (footnote "a" here)
More stuff (footnote "b" here)
Yet more stuff (footnote "a" again here).
The way I describe in the 6 steps above means that all of the footnotes
inserted
using the \footnotemark command will refer to the most-recently inserted (via
LyX commands) footnote.
Not sure if that makes sense until you try it. In any case, if someone
else has a response, I'd greatly love to know it!

Subject: Multiple references to one footnote?
Is there a way to reference a footnote multiple times? I.e., when you have
multiple entries in a table, all needing the same note?
Thanks.
