what is repeater table and repeater where to use these? can any one explain with senario greatly he..

Answer / bari

To build a repeater, drag the Repeater or Repeater Table
object from the Toolbox tab to the work area. Use repeaters
to repeat items across a single row without a particular
structure. For example, you want to create a list that
contains Year, and Product line. For each year, you want
all product lines to appear in a single row. To do this,
create a list with Year as a column and with a repeater as
a second column. Then insert Product line into the
repeater. Use repeater tables to repeat items in a table
structure. Drop the items in the repeater, and modify the
properties of the repeater to obtain the results you want.
For example, you can specify how many frames appear per
page in a repeater table by typing values in the Across and
Down properties.
