Subform
If you add fields to the table or query that feeds the subform, then you can
add the additional fields in design view. They will show up in your field list. -- Milton Purdy ACCESS State of Arkansas "Fly Boy 5" wrote: How can I add more fields when the subform is full? Thanks, |

You have NOT run out of room unless you're using room very inefficiently. You are limited to (if I remember correctly) 768 controls on a Form, but you can have multiple Subforms each with its own 768 controls. And if you have so many controls that this is a problem, you're abusing your users! Humans have a finite attention capacity. What is this application? What is the form's Recordsource? How many fields do you have in the table, and how are you trying to display them? More info please. -- John W. Vinson [MVP] |

Subform
Please review John V's assessment...
If your form/subform have that many controls on them, your users probably won't use (or want to use) the forms. As a potential alternative, you can effectively "stack" controls by using the tab control to hold multiple pages, each page consisting of a set of related controls. Good luck! -- Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Access MVP Disclaimer: This author may have received products and services mentioned in this post.
