Increase Default Form Detail Region

[John]

Hi. Does anyone know if there's a trick or method to
increase the default maximun length of a form's detail
region? The default is 22 inches, but I need to increase
it to complete my form

Thanks,
John

You can't increase the max size of the detail section, BUT you can use the other
sections of the form to increase the form height.

Each section can be up to 22 inches and the form can be a total of 200 inches in
height. So in a SINGLE form view you could put some controls in the header
section, some in the detail section, and some in the footer section. All told
that would give you 66 inches of form.

Of course, in my opinion this is a major interface problem. I would break up
the form into sections and use tab pages or coordinated forms for each section.
This would simplify moving around for the user.
