Hi guys, I'm pretty new to ASP so be easy on me please.

I am trying to convert an IIS form into an ASP page for reporting purposes. The customer requested that this form be made into one big form by consolidating the current 5 or 6 html forms that they have currently. The number of fields is somewhere around 160-180. I know that is huge, but I'm trying to do what they asked. Anyways, I have 92 fields currently on my editable grid. Any field that I try to add now it will return a VB script error and say "Object Needed." It does not matter where I put the field on the grid, what datasource or what type of form field it is (checkbox, textbox) it always returns the error. I tried going in and creating the object myself in the code but then it returned "invalid argument or parameters" on the object. I know for a fact that I gave it the proper arguments though.

Is there some limit in ASP or in CCS as to how many form fields you can create in an editable grid?

I apologize in advance for being naive.

There should not be a problem with 92 fields (assuming they are not on one row).

CCS increments a number to trach each row and I personally have not gone over 30 so this is new to me.

One of the problems you may get is that you get a timeout at the server tying to process the data.

Is this a spreadsheet replicated form?

There is no specific limit that CCS imposes, but there can be technical limits, such as available memory and resources, IE and HTML editor limits, even CCS bugs and therefore unknown limits. Product support should help you investigate any technical issues.

I don't know why but I have found a sort of temporary solution. Instead of dropping my form field elements in and editing them one at a time, I just used a CCS builder and had it auto-add every single element of the form. Instead of using an _ to try and get my array to go to the 2nd line, I simply go to the code and move everything down one line.

The form will crash unless I do this everytime I publish the file, but it works fine otherwise. It is a kind of crappy work around, but for a form this big, I'll settle. Thanks for the help guys.
