Access 2007 Fit to Screen or Auto Resize

I have a multiuser form that I would like all the users, regardless, of the
screen resolution they are using, to be able to see on one screen without
having to scroll from side to side or up and down. I have a couple of users
who prefer lower resolutions and my forms are not fitting on their screens.

I have tried to use the "fit to screen" and "auto resize" properties to
achieve this (set them both to "yes") but it doesn't seem to work. I
couldn't find help on the "fit to screen" property. What are these two
properties for? Can I use them to make forms fit everyone's screen? How?

Thanks

That is not what those properties do. The affect fitting the window to the
form, not the form to your resolution. You would have to use code that resizes
all of the objects. Better is to design based on the lowest resolution you
intend to support.

Ok - I see how auto resize works as you describe. It makes the window fit to
the form. What does fit to screen do?

Thanks
