Default Max Size of Forms & Modules in VB6

This is the third Forum Ive been too. Surely someone must be able to Answer!I bought a registered VB6 CD. I have started a check register program and it has 19 forms. One is 134,000 bytes. I read or heard somewhere that a form could only be 65,000 bytes. I started this in VB4. I am afraid to continue as I don't know what is correct. Can anyone tell me what the maximum size of Forms and Modules in VB6?

It took me 74 years to get this stupid!

I don't remember the max size of a form. But if it compile and execute then it's ok. Anyway, a form that long, couldn't be good.

A ceiling like that sounds a lot like the sort of thing that would be imposed by a 486 processor (which would be reflected in code written to run under the auspices of a 486)...

According to MSM's Programers Guide a Form or Module can take up to
65000 lines of code(approx) and 1 line is 1023 bytes. So a form could easily be 93000 bytes. If you diasgree don blame me blame the people the WORLD loves to Hate MICROSOFT!!
