[AccessD] max number of controls

Did you try placing some of the controls on subforms?    We had similar 
issues with a behavioral healthcare assessment tool that must follow a 
standard data entry flow.   It had well in excess of the limit and we 
found that placing controls on subforms circumvented the issue nicely.

A form where you can select 10 different options.
Each option has 30 controls, which i all need for filling fields in word
with mailmerge.
Add a few other controls to it and you have four hundred controls.
