[OM] Depth of Field

[ALI]

I am starting to take notice of Depth of Field (or lack of) in my macro
photographs or photographs in which I want to 'lead' the person from 
one end to
another while maintaining focus.

I downloaded a DOF Calculator:

http://www.ayton.id.au/gary/photo/photo_calc.htm

According to the calculator I would need to set my F to 22.5 using the ZD 35mm
Macro on an E-500/four-thirds camera? This means I might have to use a tripod
in many cases? I took a shot of the kids and wife...the 1st person was 
in focus
while the subject behind were out of focus. The shot worked well but I would
have liked all of them in focus. Is there a way to do this with a dslr?

Thanks.

- Ali
