Form Height Problem

[a_20120]

Hi,
I have a form (Detail) which is 22 inches height, I want to increase the Height of the Detail, but not possible.
Question:
What is the Maximum Height of Detail (inches)?

The limit, obviously, is 22 inches! I have to tell you having a form even 22 inches long is a real PITA to your users! You probably should consider using tabbed pages; you can more conveniently arrange/space your controls for ease of data entry. If you've never used tabbed pages before, here's some notes I use for people first venturing into their use:

First thing to remember is that the Tabbed Pages are all part of a single form; think of it as a really long form turned on its side. Because it is all one form, all referrencing to any contol on it is done in the same manner as if they were all on one single screen. Create a form in Design View. Goto the toolbox and click on the Tabbed Control icon; it actually looks like several manila file folders. Place it on your form and adjust the size to your liking. If you need more than the two tabbed pages it initially gives you, click on the tabbed control to select it. Goto Insert and click on Tabbed Control Page and another tabbed page will be added. Do this as many times as neccessary.

This is the really important part: when you go to add a control to a tabbed page, you must first click to select one of the pages, then add the control. Otherwise, the control will be added to the form itself, and will show thru on all tabbed pages!

Once you have the form's Control Source (your table or a query) set up, you simple add controls as you normally would, heeding the above paragraph.

Post back if you have questions.

Good Luck!

The maximum for individual sections is 22" and the total maximum for a form is 200."

I've gone to using tabbed forms instead of trying to go long.

Thank you all,
First I used the Tab pages, but when my mouse move over the labels, they flashes.
How can I stop flashing labels?
