Multiple graphs on a form

[Ian Belcher]

I want to put quite a few graphs (36 in total) on a
particular form. I've got as far as 18 and I'm already
having memory problems. Can anyone suggest a way of
getting round this problem without having to put them on
different forms?

Thank you

Ian

Since fitting so many graphs on a single form would mean making them
almost illegible, you could try saving them into PNG files and putting
those as linked images on the form. I doubt you'd be amazed with either
quality or efficiency.
In my eyes, the design needs to be changed. A human can only look at 1-2
graphs at once, so why show them 36 at once? Might as well let them
choose the next graph once they are done with the firt ones.

Thanks Pavel,
The graphs will be shown on different tabs within the same
form. They will be grouped by 9 at a time. The graphs
are very simple line graphs showing trends rather than
specific data. Unfortunately the "number of graphs on a
page" has already been set, so I have to use 9. I think
it's going to have to be 4 separate forms. Thanks again
for your time.

Ian,
Could you create 4 large, 9-panel graphs (I mean, with 9 x-y plots on
each) instead of a multitude of smaller ones? I have not tried this but
it is possible that the overhead of fewer large graphs will be a lot
smaller than that of many small ones.
Good luck,
Pavel

Thanks again Pavel. I will give your suggestion a try...
