scalable forms and controls2

[Luciano]

I made some forms matching a screen of 17 inch (resolution1440X900). When I
want to run my application on an screen of 15 inch (or less), my forms
don't match anymore. It should be preferable I simply have to 'reduce (a
dilatation?)' my form (dragging by the right upper-corner) and automatically
all the controls (and characters and pictures) will been reduced
proportianally. (Something lik I make a reduced snapshot of my form).

Luciano,

I personally have never seen what you have described. However, there is
software that will resize your forms/menus to fit the screen...

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: http://www.peterssoftware.com/ss.htm

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:

Hope this helps,
