records appear between the header & footer?

Network,
There is no set answer for that... there is no property that determines how many
records can fit between any header or footer.
First that depends on the size of the header and footer. For max records don't use any
at all.
Given your screen resolution (the higher the better) it's really a matter of font size,
and control sizes. The smaller the font, and the smaller the control the more one-line
records you can display on one screen. Given your smallest font, that would be your
max... but readability is also a critical issue.
Also, the form allows for 22" of records, but as a general rule, you should avoid forms
longer than one screen.

thanks that does help....looked around in a couple of reference books and
didn't find much on this specific topic.....
is then the bottom line? : 22" no header footer :
and then go from there i.e. subtract for any header/footer and adjusting
font size ?

Yes.
Normally, and "generally", 8pt Arial is the smallest font. You can manually override
the font size for 7pt or even 6pt, but those fonts are "interpreted" below 8pt, and the
font clarity may suffer.
You don't have to accept the "control" size for an 8pt font. You can still pull up the
bottom border a couple of pixels to save even more space. I find that if you bring up the
bottom border of the control so it just touches the bottom of the letter "g"... when
displayed, it will still read OK with no cutoff.
There is also a Quick Type Condensed that can go pretty small, but again... readability
is an issue.
