100 fields & 17 table in a single form?

That's bad design, bad for performance and for the poor user.

An other aspect the client should consider: sessions.
In a web application if you want the user to enter hundreds of data on a single form (which is a web page), there will be probably no postback during that, and the user will most likely leave the workstation to drink a coffee or other reasons. To avoid session timeout you will have to give extremely large session window. And that is a security hole, and can affect performance in case of large concurrent user number. If the client connection is broken for any reason or the browser crashes, all data will be lost. Which is extremely annoying. With grouped/paged input you have the possibility to store interim data and give it back if the session is interrupted for any reason.

As advised by Tadit it’s not advisable. Even then if the client insists then try to group them under different tabs based on relevance and functionality.

Definitely not. Why are you having so many fields on a single form?

Who is going to fill all the details? The user will get annoyed.

Instead divide them into multiple forms. Give Next and Previous buttons to all the forms and load the pages accordingly.
