Screen size

[DT]

How do you have your forms auto resize depending on the users screen resolution (640x480, 800x600, etc.)

Thanks in advance

You can use a third-party form rescaling module or add-in to do this for you, or write the code yourself (because of the complexity, this is not recommended).

A shareware version of a form rescaling module I wrote called ShrinkerStretcher is available at this web site:

There's a great article about form scaling in this month's SmartAccess newsletter. Check it out here;

Peter,

Thanks for replying. I have had a little luck since my post. I can get Access to recognize the screen resolution. The problem I am having now is the stuff on the form is too large or on top of each other. It's a challenge, but a fun one.
