Yep, groups won't scroll beyond that number.  It's a limitation in  
the engine design.  What I have done in the past is split my groups  
up into smaller segments and use code to scroll them in the proper  
order.

So if you split your group up into two segments then you would scroll  
group 1 using a scroll bar control.  As the right edge of group 1  
entered the viewable area you would start scrolling group 2 along  
with it so that it appeared you had one big scrolling group.  Kind of  
a bummer.
