There is no native ability in Access to do so.
You have several options. Firstly, you could recreate your forms suitable for different resolutions, and then use a startup form that will open the correct form after checking for the user's resolution - there is code for detecting the resolution here - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=148395 Alternatively, you could resize your forms using a utility (note that this appears to work best when you have designed at a low resolution, ie 800x600, and convert to a higher resolution, such as 1024x768). Firstly, there is ShrinkerStretcher, a utility from Peter de Baets, available at http://www.peterssoftware.com . Secondly, there is code in the Access Developer's Handbook by Litwin/Getz/Gilbert, and they have put an MDE (for both A97 and A2K) on their site at http://www.developershandbook.com John Spencer Access MVP 2002-2005, 2007-2010 The Hilltop Institute University of Maryland Baltimore County GWB wrote: I'm trying to have the form appear at 150% when it runs - so I dont have to enlarge it to seeit..... how is this done?
