Resizing forms at run-time

[Tim]

Hi
Is there any way of resizing a form at run time to run in
able to optimize its appearance based on the users screen
settings?
I'm on 1024X768 and everything fits fine, however I have
users running (I dont know why) at 800X640 and they have
to scroll to one side of the form, but then cannot
reference against whats on the other side of the
form......!

TIA
Tim

I don't know how to do what you want. I just design for the smaller screen

As for why users prefer the 800x600 screen may be visual acuity. The higher
screen sizes have smaller text in the documents. Harder to read for older
eyes or any other marginal vision problem. I find most older staff (50+)
really suffer when I put them on 1024x768 screens

Maybe there is a windows call you can make to change the users screen
resolution while using your database? anybody know how to do that?

Thanks for asking this question. I will follow the thread too as I have a
similar situation
