Vertical or horizontal scroll bar or split the form into several smaller
forms.

I think that depends of the resolution of your screen...try on a computer
with larger screen.

I'm in 1152/864 and the max size of my forms can be 1164/876...

Yes, i noticed it but it is realy stupid if a resolution influence so
strong on size of form. There must a way to get big form, much bigger
than screen resolution

Type in the size you want in the properties window?

Although interestingly, there does still seem to be a limit. My screen
is 1600 pixels wide and the maximum width of form I can create is 2892
pixels.

Thats much better. When i have 800x600 i can make bigges form 812x612.
When i have 1024x768, biggest form is 1036x780. Yes, i write 1200x1200
on property window in designer and it automaticly make 1036x780. Now, i
can make it bigger by a resize in runtime, but only as a user by mouse,
but when i try to resize it via code it automaticly make it
1036x780!!!! ..... what is goin on here ????

The answer is that it will not let you create a form that is larger
than the resolution of your screen. I went through this same problem
with my app. I had to change the screen to the resolution that it
would be run at.

I, too, feel that this is a silly limitation.

So, you are going to force your users to buy monitors large enough to view your
form?

Excellent marketing strategy!
Good luck with your project,
