Put an ERT containing % in the cell after the one ontaining the caption.
(the long table caption solution is just a hack, such errors are to be 
expected).

Hi Paul,

the automatic page-break of a long table inside a
float does not occur. At least in my hands the table
is printed over the end of the initial (table-) page
after the pdflatex run.

Cheers

As far as I understood it, you have to decide to either use a longtable or a 
float. A float can not go over a page break.

I think your problems are similar to that discussed in this thread

Dear list,

I do need a long table having three columns with a
caption.
Everything works fine when entering the \caption...
at the end of a two column table. With more columns
however, I do get the following error in the pdflatex
run:

Extra alignment tab has been changed to \cr.
 
You have given more \span or  marks than there were
in the preamble to the \halign or \valign now in
progress.
So I'll assume that you meant to type \cr instead.


Well I cant find any extra alignment tabs in the
file... Am I missing something?
Thanks a lot in advance!!
L.

P.s.: a lyx file demonstrating this is attached



Actually, I'm a bit surprised the first one works -- I didn't know that 
LaTeX would let you put a caption inside a tabular environment.  Is 
there a reason why you're not using a table float (Insert-Float-Table, 
type the caption, hit enter, then insert the longtable)?
