Controls on a Form ???

[skiphooper]

Hi Everyone,

I have created a form with a TabControl on it, which has 11 Tabs.
After the 7th tab Access will not allow me to add any more controls to it.

I went to the following site, which said that total controls on a form or report could not exceed 754. http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0011.htm

I used the Documentor , counted the controls, and I only have 386.
I've compacted the data base, and renamed the form a couple of times like the message said, but still cannot any more controls.

Is 754 the correct number of controls that can be add to a form.

What else can I do to add more controls.

Thanks in Advance

Skip

Yes, the number of controls is 754, but this refers to the lifetime of the form or report. have you tried to create an unbound form an added tab controls to it. Just a thought.

Silly Question: Have you set the "Multi Row" property on the tab control to "Yes"?

Stephen,

My form is an unbound form, and yes Multi Row is set to YES.

Anything else I can do.

Thanks

Hi! I hope I am not intruding in this post, but I remember quite some time ago this happened to me. I remember reading that Access counted all the controls on a form, even that ones that may have been added and then deleted. I am certainly no expert at this, but I think I created a new DB and imported all the data into it and that solved my form problem and allowed me to add more controls in my form.

Just a thought - it might be worth a try!
HTH!
