Is there a limit to the number of buttons is a form?

I get a frontpage error on my server when I have more then approx. 40 radial
buttons. (and the several hundred that I wanted to have is straight out!)

When I delete a bunch of buttons (doesn't matter which ones, seems to be
number related...) i don't get the error anymore.

So: Is there a limit to the number of buttons I can have in each forM?

That's not a valid solution for what I'm trying to do. I have a massive
amount of art that I need approved by many people. Each piece of art is
thumbnailed with a YES and NO radial button beneath it. Each YES/NO set has
a unique name (label). After 42 radial buttons (and 1 'name' field) I start
to get a frontpage error. It works 100% correct with numbers lower than 42.

Help!!

I tried your solution anyway, (Creating 1 dropdown box instead of 2 radial
buttons), and it breaks after 21 boxes. Something is broken....

The only restriction I know of with a FrontPage form is if you send
the results using HTML email. Using a text email there should not be
any problems with 22 fields (one text box plus 21 radio button
groups).
What is the error message?

A large number of thumbnails will be a big download - have you
considered splitting the final form into several parts?

The dropdown was on the assumption that all the radio buttons formed a
single group. In your case, the radios are the better option.

That was it... I switched to text email and it works perfectly. Thank you
very much!!!!!!!

PS. It's an internal website, so downloads are not an issue.
