Access 2003

[Cousin IT]

I view a 2003 Access database on a 4:3 monitor at work and a 16:9 monitor at
home. This obviously cuts off the screen or makes it too small. Is there
any way to make the display view automatically adjust for the monitor? Or is
there a way to shrink or expand the view depending on the monitor I'm using?
Thank you for your help.

In essence, you need to design your forms so they fit on the smallest screen
you need to use.

There are ways to programmatically modify the size of the controls when the
form opens, but it's not a simple task, the results can be visually strange
when you stretch and squash things, and some users hate it when you take up
their whole screen with your form. IMHO, it's far better to ensure that the
form fits on the lowest resolution screen you need to use.
