Hello,
I have more than 300 items on one form. When I tried to add some more things, I got the following message:
"Microsoft Access can't create any more controls on this form or report. If you have deleted controls from this form or report in the past, you may be able to rename the form or report and then add more controls to it."
I compacted this database, but still couldn't add any thing on this form. Is there any limit for the number of items on one Form?
 
hi,
So far I have 392 controls on one form, all controls are unbound maybe this has some thing to do with it.
