I really don't think that VFP has an 80 object limitation, but neither do I know what is causing your problem.

As a workaround, you might try to add objects at runtime. Instead of adding "only the objects you need", as Nadya suggest, you might actually add all objects to the form.

Also try creating another form, and add some arbitrary objects, to see whether you get the same error message.

>>Do you really need to put them all and display? It's hard to believe. I would just instantiate them in run-time, when they are needed.
