Access 2007 font size increases on my Windows 7 computer

[Chris May]

I'm running into the same problem as this guy:
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software...-does-not-display-correctly-in-windows-7.aspx

I have an access 2007 app/DB that looks fine in XP, but on my Win7
machine all the fonts look 1 size too large. Things don't fit right.

I don't have settings that I know about on my machine to increase font
sizes by default and everything I've found in terms of windows
settings are all set to normal font, 100%.

Any help?

What font are you using?

This is a shot in the dark.

Try:

Writing DPI Aware Applications.xps:

That XPS document can be read on an XP system. See:

Incorrect font size is one of several typical High DPI problems.
Perhaps lower the DPI setting (see the XPS document).
