Changing Screen Resolution

[ianclegg]

Can anyone point me in the right direction, I have an input screen that with my normal working resoloution 1024 x 768 does not all fit on one screen.

I thought that I may be able to change it using vba to 1152 x 864.

Is this possible

Regards

Forget going down the screen resolution path. Fit it to the 1024 x 768 and if you have to, break it up using the tab control. Even if you could change the screen resolution when opening the database it will wreak havoc with your users as it affects EVERYTHING, not just the database.

Thanks I'll try to do that

Hi

Why not identify the screen resolution and change the form to fit? I have some somewhere that does just that. I'll dig it out and post it

If it doesn't currently fit on a 1024 x 768 screen, I shudder to think what it might look like. Best to design for the LOWER end screen resolution first and then deal with possible higher resolutions.

Hi

Granted. Actually if I remember right, my code works with the screen size rather than the resolution. Reason being I have an extremely large pc but a small laptop screen....

There is always the shrinkstretch tool from peters software. That could fix the form but it needs purchasing.
