I have created forms which fit nicely within my PC's 1024 resolution, however when end user's with a 800 resolution use my forms the forms are larger than their screen and they must scroll around to see all of the form. I recall reading about a way to remedy this with some code but I cannot find that info. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Mitch.

The Dev Ashish site has the answer to this one. Just follow the link and search for screen resolution. http://www.mvps.org/access/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/search.htm

You can use a third-party form rescaling module or add-in to resize your forms for you, or write the code yourself, but it is quite involved.

A shareware version of a form rescaling module I wrote called ShrinkerStretcher is available at this web site: http://www.peterssoftware.com/ss.htm

FMS has a sizer module at www.fmsinc.com. (http://www.fmsinc.com.)

The Access Developer's Handbook has form resizing code included: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0782119417/107-8064361-7403703

For more informmation, there are some great articles about form scaling in the December 2000, and May 2001 SmartAccess newsletter. Check it out here: http://www.smartaccessnewsletter.com

Hope this helps,
