Default Form Caption Length

1) if HELP says the caption can be 2048 characters, than why the truncation
.... especially since the FORM is 8 inches wide -- there is ample room for a
120 character caption

2) why I need/want a longer caption is really immaterial .. but if you MUST
know, it is a positioning issue, I prefer this particular bit of caption info
(which is dynamic and changes as the user is working) to be centered on the
title bar -- better visual appeal. So, theoretical I should be able to
define my caption as Space(80) & strCaption with strCaption being a 35 to 40
character phrase. Sadly, the last 5 to 10 characters are evaporating.

So, tell me something I DON'T already know

Form Captions too long to be displayed are truncated by Access. The question
to my mind is why in the world would you need a form caption as long as or
longer than 110 characters?
