Hi,
I'm a little confused on the limit for the number of controls on a form in access 2000. I understand that the lifetime limit is 754 and someone posted here about an active limit of 255 controls on one form. Does a label or line count as an active control? What I am wanting to do is display a 25 x 25 (625 labels) grid and have the labels change color based on some data. This would graphically display location info. I don't want to go to the trouble of placing 625 labels (a lot of grunt work)if access won't let me use them. I can stay under the 754 lifetime control limit...but I'm wondering about the 255 active control thing. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Is a 25 x 25 grid possible on an access form? Thanks
