Universal Form Size?
I have a problem that all my users have different screen resolutions which
ultimately affects my forms. Is there anyway that I can set something so that all the forms will look the same no matter what your screens resolution?

Universal Form Size?
Not as a property.
You can put in code to detect the user's resolution and resize your form accordingly, but it's not trivial code. They show you how to do this in the Developer's Handbook (from Sybex: see http://www.developershandbook.com/ for details). You can download an MDE veresion of the code from http://www.developershandbook.com/downloads.htm and use it in your application. Another option is to purchase ShrinkerStretcher from Peter's Software http://www.peterssoftware.com/ss.htm -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

Universal Form Size?
Access Africa,
Try doing a Google groups search on "public.access" "forms" "resizing". There are many solutions and comments regarding this function. Be aware that resizing is basically a mathematical process, and may not display a "precise" scaled report. Also, when developing for multiple resolutions it might be easiest to design in 800x600. It may appear smaller at higher resolutions, but will always work without hiding any controls. I think the most popular resizers are... http://www.developershandbook.com/ (Consider investing in "The Developer's Handbook" for your version of Access. It has the source code for the resizing function.) http://www.peterssoftware.com/ss.htm http://www.jamiessoftware.tk -- hth Al Campagna Candia Computer Consulting - Candia NH http://home.comcast.net/~cccsolutions "Access Africa" wrote in message ...
