Form Resolution

[AJOLSON]

I have a form that opens to maximize when the user opens the DB. The problem
I am having is dealing with different monitor resolutions. Some of the users
have a lower resolution so when the form opens it is too large for the screen
and is very odd looking. Is there a way to have the form open so it looks
the same on most computers?

Hi AJ

Apart from changing all the monitor resolutions to the same setting, the
users wont like that, there are resizer programmes

There's a form resizer at http://www.jamiessoftware.tk/resizeform/rf_jump.html

Another one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/modscaleform

The Access Developer's Handbook has form resizing code included:

I use one of the re-sizers for an invoice programme, it works but I wouldn't
say its easy. One thing I noticed was that it was much better at making
resolution larger but not so hot at making it smaller. So, design layout
small and grow it rather than shrinking. However, some of the other
programmes may be better at shrinking than the one I used.

I hope this answers your question.
