I don't know if there is a maximum number of fields on a layout. I
suspect not. But what I think you have come up against is the maximum
layout SIZE (length, actually).
When you ask Filemaker to automatically place all fields on a new
layout, it uses your default typeface size to place them in a
vertical list. I assume that if the list is longer than the maximum
layout length, some get missed.
You can of course manually place the fields on a layout. If you
really need all on one layout, I'd suggest first creating two layouts
each with half the fields (by selecting half the fields at a time in
that layout-building wizard thingy). Then simply copy the fields from
one layout and paste them onto the other (to the right of the
existing fields).

Is there a maximum number of fields in a layout?
I have a FM monolithic table that I am trying to convert. When I
import it, the entire table with all field shows in Define Database/
Tables.
However, when I create a layout for the table it gets cut off
before all fields appear, so my conversion script does not convert
all fields.
If there is not a maximum is there another reason?

There are something less that 850 fields.
Don’t know how to get a real number since layout is short!
