cannot select field

[Sarah]

I have got around this problem in one of 3 ways:
1. have a separate "Add" button that allows the user to enter data 
which gets added to the list.
2. put a blank line in that can be clicked on - then you can check for 
a blank entry when you process the click and use that to add a new line.
3. always have an "Add new entry" line in your list that can be 
selected.

I realise your problem is slightly different to mine as I was only 
using one list field at a time, but these techniques might give you 
some ideas to try.

Cheers,
Sarah
