From the VFP 9 help: "Generally, you can pass a maximum of 26 parameters; however, in some circumstances, you can pass 27 parameters."

In any case, there are alternatives to passing so many parameters separately:

Pass a single parameter object - an object that has different properties.

Pass an array.

Pass a string, which contains the "parameters" separated by a suitable separator, like ";".

In some cases, you can pass an object reference, like "This" or "ThisForm". Then, the receiving function can access the form properties directly.
