AutoNumber Repeating Sections

[Vickie]

I would like to have a field in a repeating section that automatically
sequentially numbers the sections. I've tried counting a field in the
section, but it just counts itself. Any suggestions?

Too easy:

ON the field you want the coutn to happen:
count(preceding-sibling::*)+1

Actually, that only worked for an expression box (whose value I
couldn't use as data) and didn't work as a default value for a text
box - it kept staying at "1". I looked around a little more, and this
worked:

count(../preceding-sibling::*/my:Index_Count)

where Index_Count is the text box storing the number.
