How big can a form be??

[iantaylor]

Hello,

I'm in the middle of creating an electroni questionnaire and the form won't let me expand it anymore.
The ruler says its at 55.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way around this as this has put a major dent in my project.

Thanks in advance
Ian

Break it up into tabbed forms?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm very new to Access, can you please tell me how I do that.

Thanks

When creating Access forms, you can create a Tab control as a way to organize controls. You can create the control the way you create any Access control, the tab control is available from the toolbox.

The tab control looks like a series of file folders, with tabs on each folder. Each file folder is considered to be a page. The tab control is displayed with 2 tab pages by default. You can click directly on a page to select that page, whether you are in form view or design view.

The tab control serves as a container for other controls. There are several ways to add controls to a tab control page:

*Drag fields from the field list to the tab page.

*Click a tool in the toolbox and create controls from scratch.

*Paste controls that have been cut/copied from another object, such as form or page.

You cannot drag and drop between pages of a tab control.

Like any control, the tab control has a variety of properties. The tab control has a set of properties for the tab control itself. In addition, there are seperate properties for each of the pages of the tab control.
