Form layout keeps changimg (1 Viewer)

When I set the lay out of a form on my laptop it all looks good when I put it on a larger screen I get gaps between fields. I see that some of the fields have a dotted box around them. This makes them all move to with each other when you move one. I think that this is causing my problem as they seem to move around the screen in groups when I go to a larger screen making the layout look bad.

Hi. While in design view, select all the controls and then click on the Remove Layout button on the ribbon.

theDBguy's advice will separate the Controls so that they can be moved individually...but the phenomena you're experiencing, moving from one box to another, isn't caused by the size of the screens...but rather by differences in the resolutions of the two screens.

Have a look at this post by isladogs that goes into the use of a well known hack for resizing Forms, when going between resolutions:

The thread has a link to the actual hack...ResizeForm Me.
