Whole view of forms

[magnus]

I made some forms in Access on my comp & 19" monitor.
When I copied the forms to a comp using a 17" monitor I cannot view the whole
form and have have to scoll to use the whole form. I have not had that
problem of
making forms on using a larger monitor and then viewing the whole form on a
smaller screen monitor. What can I do to be able to view whole form when
having to use different size monitors. Help!!

Magnus,
It's not the size of the monitor that's causing this problem, it's the
resolution that the monitor is set to. A 17" monitor set at 800 x 600 will
display a form just like a 19" monitor at 800 x 600. The problem comes when
a form is designed for a 1024 x 768 is displayed on a 800 x 600 monitor.
(your problem... too large)
Using Desltop Properties, try setting that monitor to the resolution the
form was originally designed for .
