Add of controls not possible anymore

[Smarty]

I want to add a label, but this is not possible! Error: "Microsoft Access can't add, rename, or delete the control(s) you requested". There are currently about 60 fields, labels, lines,... on my form. How can I add my label?

you could try copying all of the controls (Ctrl+A then Ctrl-C, to be sure you've got them all) and pasting them on a new form. If you've got code behind the form, copy it onto the other form too.
Access pulls this kind of tricks once in a while, and pretty often this solution works for us!

There is a limit to the number of items per form. What has most likely happened is that you have created the max number (but most were deleted). I had this problem when duplicating electronic schematics into Access forms, but it took alot. You can copy the controls to another form, also, compacting the database should get rid of those old controls. My Dbase went from 14M to 1.9 after I was done and compacted it. Sean.
