makeform stretch to 100 %

[goodhead]

I've built a db menu system for our catering dept so they can add the menu and it will display on tvs around campus.
How ever the tvs are diffarent sizes and so the form dont look right.
Is there a way to make a single form stretch to 100% of the screen size a bit like a web page?

DoCmd.Maximize will maximize your form, but the trick is designing the form to allow for dynamic control sizes.

Use "Anchoring"

I have not tried it myself but would be curious to know if it works

FYI: to use that code you will need this book:

In USA you can get it for only 1 cent plus shipping. I just bought it myself...

Not sure if you are still following this but this program is also available to purchase:

I downloaded a trial and it seems to work well although I haven't been able to do extensive testing. It costs around $40 bucks for 1-5 licenses.

I need to figure something out to fix this issue as well which is why I have gone through all of this effort (my boss complained that the forms look too small on her enormous monitor).
