800*600 pixels and 1024*768 pixels

M

Mansoor

I have done a project using the setting 600*800 pixels ,the user is using
1024*768 pixels and everything looks small. Is there a way that when opening
my file the setting changes from 1024*768 to 600*800 and when closing the
file it turns back to 1024*768?
Thank you in advance
Mansoor

It's generally considered inappropriate for applications to change the
user's settings: remember, your application may not be the only one running
at the same time, and if you change their resolution, you change it for all
applications.

Instead, consider adding resizing logic to your application, so that it
adapts to their resolution.

There's sample code to do this in Access Developer's xx Handbook by Litwin,
Getz and Gilbert et al (where xx is whatever's appropriate for the version
of Access you're using). You can learn more about their books at
http://www.developershandbook.com/

They've also produced an MDE version of the code that you can download from
http://www.developershandbook.com/downloads.htm and use in your application.

Another option is to purchase ShrinkerStretch from Peter De Baets

There's also code at http://jamiessoftware.tk/resizeform/rf_download.html
but I don't really know anything about it.
