Default HELP! limit of objects on a form.

Hello,

I heard previously that you could only use around 254 controls on a forms.
You can group controls in frames to avoid the limit.

Thanks Tom,
yes, its true iīm already using a multipage!
iīve tried many things but nothing works,1.200 objects is the limit.one
person tell me that it could be a virtual memory problem...but i donīt

think
so...the form really have that limit of objects....after read the

suggestions
that all of you give to me,i created a second form with limits that the

user
almost donīt recognize that is working on another form....the suggestion

of
tab strip.......i donīt know how to programme on it,and the textboxes on

my
case must have a descriiption before.....how could i insert so many

textboxes
automatically....and its true to ,i really have to work with all of this
objects at the same time..

much thanks again

Think you are going to have to use some creativity.

Maybe you can use a grid control or the OWC spreadsheet control to

eliminate
a lot of your other controls.

Or maybe you just want to get your input from a spread sheet. I always

have
a hard time thinking of any input screen that would required 1500

inputs.

Another approach would be to use a tab strip control with a userform

with
let us say 300 controls on it. (5 tabs) that would give you virtually

1500
controls - you would just redefine the role played by the 300 controls

based
on which tab is selected.

i must have on a form +/- 1.500 objects but excel craches,i only can

put

same,when i want to put more objects excel, craches.i donīt want to

have 2
forms,because the values on the form affect directly the other values

and
both must be on the same form
