Adding control boxes
For some reason, I am getting an error message from access saying that I
cannot create any more controls on this form. It says if I have deleted controls that I can save the file as another name. Is there a limit to how many control boxes I can place on a form? -- Sue McCarthy |

Adding control boxes
The limit is 754. The thing is, if you add 20 controls to a form, then decide
to delete 10 of them, Access still assumes you have 20 controls on the form! When you save the file under a different name, or create a new blank file and import everything into it, only the current controls are counted, so you reclaim, if you will, the allocation for the deleted controls. Just one of Access' cute little quirks! -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!
