Limit of items can put on a form?

[cldn]

I wanted to make a form with 15 tabs. Each tab has about a page worth of items on it. By tab 4, I got a message saying there was no more room on the form and it wouldn't permit me to add the rest of the items. So now my form is in 5 different files. Others must put more information on a single form than I am! It is really a pain for the data entry person to wade thru 5 files to fill out a single form. Ideas????

Thanks,
Ande

Depending on how much data and how many queries, Tabs run very slowly anyway. I had a form with 4 tabs and it was running so slow that I changed it to forms and subforms. When the user opens the form they think it's tabed, but in reality it's not. I just made buttons on my form and everytime the user clicks the button the right form opens up, but at the same time the other subfrom disappears. You just have to toggle the visibility of the forms and you can put as many button as you want on your from and have all the subforms sitting on top of each other and just call them by the buttons. I hope I didn't confuse you Let me know if that works

form limite

Pat and Sohaila--thank you so much for the feedback. It fits that the limit on controls was what was hindering me. I'll try the "pseudo tabs" and see how that works.
