Same field to appear multiple times with same name
I have a form which is split into mutliple tabs. I want some fields to appear in every tab so the user doesn't have to go back to a previous tab. I read in another post that this can be achieved using a formula which references the original field. The problem now is, I can't give the formula field the same name as the original field because I get an ambigious field error. Is there a way to avoid this error while keeping the same display name on the form?

As far as I know: No!

If you are not afraid to cheat, you can put something invisible after the name. I have had some success with the unicode character U+2062, INVISIBLE TIMES. If a third occurence is needed, add two such characters. The risk is that this would break if the developers decide that allowing such a character at the end of a name is a "bug" by wich Ninox can be fooled.

You could create your own "tabs" using a Choice field, per below. That gives you complete control over what fields are visible. However, be aware that the last item selected will always be remembered by each record. This means that as you flip through the records the "tabs" will appear to jump around.
