How can I view an Access Form the same for different Screen Resolu

[KenG]

Hi and thanks in advance. I want to try to view a form the same in different
resolutions. For example, I created some forms on a computer with a
resolution of 1024 x 768. When viewed on another computer with a screen
resolution of 800 x 600 the graphics and text are not viewed correctly. Is
there a setting or scrpit etc.
that I can use to correct this?

Hi Ken,

Short answer: Yes, this can be done.

Long answer:
You can add code to your forms that will resize all
controls to various screen resolutions. Here are some
links for you if you want to pursue that option.

1. Download an MDE file from the Developer's Handbook web
site. You can then reference that MDE in your application
to use the resize code.

2. Purchase the Developer's Handbook for your version of
Access. In my opinion the book is WELL worth the money.
Not only do you get the resize code, but a wealth of other
information, code, and database samples. Go to the same
site listed above for more information.

3. Peter's software has a resizing utility at:

4. The following link has also been posted as an alternative:

5. FMS has a sizer module:

6. Here is another possibility, but I have no experience
with this one either:
