screen resolution

[GregSmith]

I have a form that was designed in 1024x768 and I just found out that most of the users that will access it will be using 800x600.

When the mdb is launched, it opens the form in full screen mode. The end user cannot change this. How can I tell it to position correctly for 800x600? When I made it in 1024x768 I left enough space on the sides, top, bottom to accommodate this but it still cuts off near the right edge.

I hope there is a resolution to where I do not need to remodify the form...

Thanks

There are third-party form rescaling 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,
