Dialog Box to enter new students to one field.

Have a form where I need to enter the attendance for a class and some user info. I want to do this using a Dialog Box that pops up from say an Add Student button. I will have something like a field for Name, Title and ID. How do I go about setting this up so a trainer can click on the button and a new student will be appended to a common single multi value field. THe way I have it not I have to create a huge table of fields, once row for each student, trying to estimate the greatest number in a class. I know this is not the best way and have seend it done with a clean dialog box, but not sure how exactly it is done.

Any advice is appreciated.

I would create a docment for each stdent, and then have a view that can be used as a lookup.
This is simple, and will alow for added functionality in the future.
You can have a Class  ID and other identifiers so that it will be easy to do a lookup.

I hope this helps !
