Auto resizing of form
Hi,
Thanks Bernd for your help with my last query. Could somebody please help me. Is it possible to programatically change the size of the display ? I Have made an access report on a 21" screen and most people have a 17" screen! The guys with the smaller screen have a lot of the form "cut off" ? |

Les,
It is not the size of the monitor but the display resolution set by the user that will cause what you're seeing. Here are two suggestions for code that will allow your application to detect the display resolution and rescale/resize forms: You can download an MDE file that you can incorporate into your 97 or 2000 application from: Form Scaling and Resizing Tool: http://www.developershandbook.com/downloads.htm The full source for this is available in the Access Developer's Handbook by Ken Getz et al. This utility is also recommended in the Access newsgroups: Peter's Software Shrinker-Stretcher - http://www.peterssoftware.com/ss.htm I have not used it so cannot comment on it. hth, -- Cheryl Fischer, MVP Microsoft Access "Les" wrote in message ...
