Too many controls (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

I have added about 100 additional controls to a form (toolbar).
When I saved it the form was totally trashed.
I recovered from a backup, (and 1/2 days work) was recovered because I could still use System Editor to get at the event code and paste it into the recovered version.
I tried it again, a few controls at a time, and the form was corrupted when saved. It seems that 64k record size is a problem here.
Is this a known issue with 4.1.3 or is it resolved on a later release.
I dont want to go to 7.0.
Bit of a big problem for me this is, but I will now have to rebuild the code in a totally different way….
Cant use create object because of the licence limitations, and cant have a large number of controls… mickey mouse springs to mind.

This is a known problem with the Form Designer and internal 64K limits. It has been fixed in 7.0…which is "a later release".
There is an alternative solution to moving completely into 7.0. Fortunately the 4.1.3 presentation server doesn't have any problems. Therefore, we have been able to create our large forms in 7.0 and then checked them back without any problems.

Don, Thanks.
Hmmm. 32 bit…. yes perhaps the engine is.
The reason I dont want to go to release 7.0 is because we have hundreds of clients who do not want to replace the hardware and OS.
It takes a long time for users to upgrade, and to force them is a client relation nightmare.
In the real world, things are not as clean cut as they are in the development world.
In the end, we will probably go to 7.0, but we are looking at 2 years perhaps before this will be a possibility.
Revelation need to understand this, and take this into account.
I can understand the need to reduce support cost, and that OI16 is no longer supported, but release 4.x needs to be managed, supported and ideally upgraded where possible for some time yet.
