The grid will give you the greatest flexibility, IMO.
Another option is to use an array of controls. For example, create up to 100 TextBoxes, and put them into different positions. See my FAQ #8110 for some ways to do this.
The main problem you might have is that each form seems to have a maximum height. Scrollbars help, but only to a certain extent.
You might also consider putting 10 controls into Page1, 10 into Page2, etc., of a PageFrame control. Of course, this will make the logic of your program somewhat more complicated.
