4" x 7" is what I will strive for then. Too bad as 5 x 10 fits so much more
information presented in an easily readable format. I'm going to use tabs
to break up the info.
Thanks for all suggestions

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!

Similar to what the other poster said I have found that if I keep forms at
around 4 inches tall and 7 inches wide (according to the design ruler)
that they will fit on 800 by 600 screens if Access is maximized. This
varies according to how many command bars you are showing and whether the
user is using large fonts or different DPI settings in Windows.

Shrinker Stretcher (in my experience) is better at making forms larger
than it is at making them smaller. The best thing to do is TEST and make
all of your forms fit on the lowest resolution you need to support.
