Centralize forms on any size screen in fullscreen

[Hugh self taught]

Hi coding fundi's,

I have designed all my forms in window mode while developing the database.
I'm getting ready to put it on the machine of the person who will use it &
their screen size is different to mine which makes the forms positioning look
odd when in fullscreen (Maximized). I will be setting the copy on her machine
so no development or direct manipulation can be done.

What I'd like to know is if there is a method to have the form open in
fullscreen but be central to the screen irrespective of screen size? ie All
the fields are in the centre of the screen where the windowed form would have
been instead of all off to the left.

Any ideas will be appreciated

Isn't that what the form's AutoCenter property does.

Hi Douglas,

when I saw your response I felt like a right twit. However what I found is
that that auto centers the windowed form to the screen. I want to center the
displayed contents of the form in maximized view irrespective of what size
screen is attached to the machine.

If I maximize the form then the left margins are all still the same in max
view as in windowed view. They are not adjusted so that the centre of the
windowed form is still the centre of the maximized view.

Unless there is still a setting somewhere that I need to change I can't get
it to do that. It looks terrible with everything all up in the left top area
of the larger widescreen display.

Any more pointers in this regard will be greatly appreciated
