Access 2002 vs. 2003

[Guest]

Hello,

I designed a form on my computer, which runs A2002. Everything looks fine.
It still looks fine on another person's computer who is also running A2002.
But on a third person's machine, with A2003, the fonts seem to be too large,
and nothing fits anymore and text is cut off.

At first I suspected this may be due to the fact that the first 2 machines
use the Windows Classic scheme, and the third box the new WinXP look. But
changing it to Classic didn't make any difference.

So now I suspect that it's an Access 2003 problem. Does anybody know? Has
anybody run into this issue before, and is there a way to over come it? Maybe
some compatibility setting in A2003?

Or was my fist hunch correct and this is caused by the different Windows
display schemes?
I'm totally baffled.

Are the screen resolutions the same for all the computers?

Maybe because the third machine use 120 dpi for the characters instead of 96
dpi.

Look at the Advanced option button for the settings of the screen.

That was the reason, and I learned something new.
Thank you.
