Positioning Objects on Forms

[advil]

I am trying to find out if this is possible on MS Access Forms: Positioning objects on forms just like when you are building a web page. Creating tables and fiting objects into cells and alligning them accordingly. This way forms could be resolution independent and have forms at full screen size.

Right now I am using a fixed size forms that are the same size and positioned at center of the screen. Is this the best way to do it?

Thanx

There are some third-party form scaling solutions available that might help:

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.

The Access Developer's Handbook has form resizing code included:

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,
