I have a 119 edit boxes on one screen. But, unlike 17", the screen is so big it want fix on a 15"screen. also, is there a way to scroll a dialog base application? Also, is there a way for someone to tell the program how man edit boxes they need?
 
change the style of doalog's window to WS_HSCROLL|WS_VSCROLL and use WinAPI fonctions for scroll bars. John Fill

Just as another way to go about things, you may want to consider grouping your edit boxes into similar categories, then placing them in your own submenu (or sub-dialog box). This is more of a user interface management approach rather than a real answer to your question.
Considering you have over 100 edit boxes on your screen, a user may be fairly confused and intimidated. By grouping edit boxes and placing them in sub menus, you can reduce the size of your application AND make it less intimidating.
