(Q) I developed my Access database using a 1024x768 screen resolution. But my users are
using a 800x600 resolution setting on their pcs. As a result, my forms/reports are not
fitting on one screen. Is there a way to automatically resize the forms depending on users
display properties?
(A)
Access 97 Developer's Handbook
by Ken Getz, Paul Litwin, and
Mike Gilbert (ISBN 0-7821-1941-7, Sybex) describes the process in detail on how to
automatically resize forms.
Ken Getz, on
DevelopersHandbook.com, has also made available
Form
scaling/resizing tool from
Access 2000 Developer's Handbook, Desktop Edition (Volume I). Scale your
forms so that they maintain the same "look" at any resolution, and resize
controls as users resize forms. In addition, you can dock or float controls
without resizing them.
Also, Peter Dabeats has put together demo databases that show the capabilities of his
Shrinker/Stetcher utility. The databases can be downloaded from
Peter's Software
