Resolutions

[Gerald Volkman]

How do you code a form so it will center and fill the
screeen independent of the individual computer resolution
settings?

 

[JohnFol]

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub

Gerald,

You can set the form AutoCenter property to True in order to center the form
on the screen.

As far as filling the screen goes, there are third-party form scaling
solutions available that might help:

A shareware version of a form rescaling module I wrote called
ShrinkerStretcher is available at this web site:

FMS has a sizer module at www.fmsinc.com.

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

For more informmation, there are some great articles about form scaling in
the December 2000, and May 2001 SmartAccess newsletter. Check it out here:

Hope this helps,
