Re-size form for larger screen
Hi, I have created a database for a group of users who have different screen/monitor sizes. On the larger screens, the main form 'overflows' at the bottom of the screen so that the user is unable to see all the form. Is there any way to modify access (on the machines with the larger screens) so that all the form appears? Pedro |

Ken Getz has a resize control that can be used. However I can not post it
due to permissions, you can however use it if you have one of his Access Developers Handbooks. Then you can freely use it because you bought the book. -- Pete Blackburn - words to live by: "Don''t ever let somebody tell you. You can''t do something.You got a dream,You gotta protect it."

Re-size form for larger screen
Pedro,
Resizing is always a problemchild when programming a db. Which size to go for. I tend to choose the largest monitor resolution so the people who use those don't have any issues. Point is when you take the lower resolutions as a standard you are bound to program additional functionality to make sure everyone can use it. If you do want to use the resize functionality take a look he http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0002.htm Keep in mind that the result will always be different on whatever screen you are watching. hth -- Maurice Ausum "pedro" wrote: Hi, I have created a database for a group of users who have different screen/monitor sizes.

There are third-party form scaling solutions available that might
help: A shareware version of a form rescaling module I wrote called ShrinkerStretcher is available at this web site: http://www.peterssoftware.com/ss.htm There's a form resizer at http://www.jamiessoftware.tk/resizeform/rf_jump.html ..
