Error - Control or Subform Control is too large for this location

[BJS]

I am modifying one of my reports. It contains fields subforms.

Suddenly when trying to add more fields to the report, I get the following error message:

"The control or subform control is too large for this location."

"The number you entered for the Left, Top, Height or Width property is too large or is a negative number"

"Reduce the size of the control or subform control, or enter a positive number."

I'm not sure, but I think the problem might be that Access is limited to reports containing data up to 22 inches. This seems to be exactly where I can no longer enter any more controls.

Can anyone confirm this?
If my assumption is true, how do I deal with this?

Thanks in advance,
BJS
