Can't create anymore controls on this form

I am getting the message that no more controls can be added to the form.
The message also says that if I deleted controls from this form in the
past (which I did), than I may be able to rename the form and add more
control to it.
Of course, I tried that but I still couldn't add more controls.
Ideally, it would great if I could really remove all unused controls
from the list of controls access created for this form.
Anyone can help me here.
Cheers

There is a limit of (?)700-odd controls for life of the form. Try copying
the form to a new name (ctrl-c/ctrl-v). If that doesn't work, copying the
form into a new database (& then back again) would surely work.

HTH,

I think the limit may be about 255. having a template form that is copied
and the copy is automated works but does not get one around the limit.

No, it is definitely 700-odd. I don't have Access here to check, but I
specifically remember that it is a strange number: no apparent explanation
through being a power of 2 minus 1, etc.

255 is the limit in the classic Visual Basic product. It is much, much
higher in Access, but is cumulative over the life of the form -- previously
added but now-deleted controls count, too.
