Default Low resolution screens hides some of the form

The Shrinker Stretcher would be nice except these people use LoRes because
they can't see well! If I shrink it then they can't read it! 6" x 4" is a
guess or realistic?
I am wary about downloading executables from foreign sites, so resizeform is
out, and modscale form was asking me to do product surveys so that's out. I
don't have the Access handbook that's for sale on hand.
All I need is a scale: Resolution vs size!

If you size your form to 6 inches by 4 inches it should fit at 800x600
resolution.

You may also want to consider some form rescaling solutions. It's
possible to size your form to fit the end user's screen resolution.

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

There's a form resizer at

.

Another one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/modscaleform

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

Hope this helps,
