EpiData Entry Program Exceeding 999 Lines

Hello,
I am working on a project with a data entry program that exceeds 999 lines and I would like to avoid breaking the entry into sections (we would need at least 4 sections for our data entry program). Are there any tricks to work around this situation besides breaking up the program into several parts?
If not, does anyone have suggestions for alternative programs to use for data entry on long surveys like this? I have heard that CSPro may work, but I have no experience with it. If you have any experience with CSPro or other data entry programs that might work, please email me directly ( Haddaway-sam@norc.org).
Thanks,
Sam

Two suggestions: a. Place several fields on the same line, and you can have many fields within 999 lines b. If your project is not urgent - test with the new Manager and Entry Client. We expect final release of first version with 1-2 months. You can get the test versions from http://www.epidata.dk/testing.php
In any system it is not easy to have very long entry forms with that many fields I assume you are having. I have no knowledge of CSPro.
