I was looking more at how the tables were set up. I have a review table that hold the main form data; but the 5 pieces that repeat, I could make a table for each one but I was thinking there might be a more efficent way to do it and also make it more flexible so down the road if more sections get added I would not have to go add another table for that data. I put the header info(job role/requirements) into the DB so I could change it through the form instead of having to go into the code to modify it. Right now there are 5 of those sections in the form so I just do a FIND on them and loop through how many times they are there and display a partial X times and use the data in the db for the header info to make it relatively dynamic.
