I'm running into the same problem as this guy:
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/...windows-7.aspx

I have an access 2007 app/DB that looks fine in XP, but on my Win7
machine all the fonts look 1 size too large. Things don't fit right.

I don't have settings that I know about on my machine to increase font
sizes by default and everything I've found in terms of windows
settings are all set to normal font, 100%.

Any help?

This is a shot in the dark.

Try:

Writing DPI Aware Applications.xps:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=129588

That XPS document can be read on an XP system. See:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...the-XPS-Viewer

Incorrect font size is one of several typical High DPI problems.
Perhaps lower the DPI setting (see the XPS document).
