Access 2002 Desktop Developer's Handbook

I find the code for manipulating forms in this book - "on the fly" form
resizing and a multitude of other trips - to be one of the most valuable
resources available to Access programmers. (I shouldn't say this, but I
would have paid double or triple for that code....)

HOWEVER, I have encountered a problem I don't understand. I work on a
computer with a big (24") HIGH resolution (1900 x 1200) monitor.

At times, the precise occurrence of which I haven't been able to establish,
unfortunately, my forms get SAVED in a LARGE resized fashion.

Somehow, while working with them in a size resized in runtime mode UPWARDS
from the original design, they get saved to that large size.

This wreaks utter havoc when I copy the database to computers with smaller
screens and resolution (like my notebook). The forms are far too large for
the screen and will not display properly.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and would know what to do about it?
Would it be possible, somehow, to resave them at a proportionally smaller
size without manually going into the now huge forms and manually making all
controls smaller - until the next time the program saves them upwards in
size?
