    Too many controls in form?

    Is there a limit to how many contols a single form can have. I am working on a search engine and have all the fields from a table as combo boxes for users to select criteria or text boxes for users to select strings. Everything seems to work fine, but every now and then I get the following error:

    "Reserved Error (-1104); there is no message for this error" - the form then does not open

    Now this does not happen all the time, and at times all I need to do is restart the database. Unfortunately, it has happened too many times during presentations. What is causing this?

    Thanks for all the help.

    About the controls there is limitation...

    You can find out all limitations in Access in searching in thescripts about

    Access specification

    But about your error... I don't think that is provoked from your form!

    Get the query on which is based your form and open it! Is it opening normally?

    Without this error?

      There is no query fo the form. The only quries are starup are the datasource for the controls.

        Hi,
        Just I'm speaking for this datasource for your controls....

        What is it?

        Can you visualize it like a query and see the data like a query?

        Pls do it... If the error persist this means that the problem isn't in your controls, but in your datasource!

        :)
