If I am trying to create a multipage form, after I make 3 pages on the 4rth
page it won't allow me to add any more controls and will show me a query that
" No more controls can be added to this form, if you have deleted any
controls close this form and reopen it"
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance

How many controls do you have? You can only put 255 (I think that's it) on
a form. Typically, more than that would be done with subforms.

If you have added and then deleted a control, it still counts toward the
maximum!

You might try to move some items onto a subform, or rethink what is there.
Could some of the items that are rarely seen be moved to a "more" pop-up
form invoked by a button?

Good answer other than the "I think..." part. According to specs, you can
have 754 controls on a form. The suggested solutions are on target.
