How many text boxes allowd in a form

[JSRhone]

I am trying to make a form with a lot of text boxes. I was using 8 tab controls with several text boxes on each. When I went into preview mode the form was blank.

While in design view the tab form when I got to tab 6 and when I slected any text box to move it the text box on tab 5 would move in unison.

When I got to tab 7 the text boxes from tab 6 will still be seen along with the text boxes form tab 7 and both tab 6 and tab 7 gould be edited.

Any ideas

Thanks

Your text boxes are not on the tab you think that they are.

In the design view, select the tab, being sure it's selected before adding a text box or other control.

I don't know of a specific limit, but I had one the order of 100 per tab control.

I was in design view and should have been on the right tab.

I had done 5 perfectly before.

Today I tried to put my text boxes on a new form and this is the error I got; Microsoft Access can't create any more conteols on this form or report.

If you have deleted controls from this form or report in the past, you may be able to rename the form or report and then add more controls to it.

What is this, anyone know.

Thanks

There is a limit of 754 controls over the lifetime of a form. I think you can copy it or import it to get around that if you've deleted a lot in the past.
