tab control

This is mainly a general question regarding the tab control. Has anyone come
across the number of pages a tab control can have? This would not be a
multi-row but single row. Is it 50? 100? more? I am looking at using the
tab control but as the higher ups want more added, I don't want to reach the
end or have some idea of the limits the number of tab control pages are.
Thanks.

In code I was able to add over 500. I don't know the usefulness of knowing
any limit higher than that.

This formula is based on tensive userbility testing and gives the
maximum number of tabs suitable for a form of width W inches:

N = e*W^sin(PI/5)

John, thanks for the reply. And as the formula says, it really is a sin.

Rick, thanks for the info. At least now I know I'm save using a tab control.
