form size on screen

[Guest]

How can I control the way a form is viewed on other computers. I have set
the form to open to maximum size when the database/form opens. But what I
have noticed is that on my computer I see the whole form, when other users
open the form (with window maximized) the form is larger than the screen and
the user must use the scroll bars to see all the information. Is there a way
to set the form so that is is viewed the same by all users.

Your problem, most likely, comes from a user's screen size. The screen size
controls how much space is available on the screen, and results in a change
in the computer's font size. An easy, basic way to think about it might be
that it sort of acts like a magnifying glass. It makes things bigger, so
less fits on the screen.

Your options would be to get the user's to go to a 'smaller' screen size
(ie. from 800x600 to 1024x768) or to rebuild your screens so that they fit
under the 'larger' screen size.

Currently, I still create all my forms to fit 800x600, but there are times
when this may not make sense, or be possible. So you need to decide the best
approach to take.

One suggestion, if you need to find a way to compress the same amount of
data into a smaller space, would be not to forget the tab control.

Thank you for your response. It is too bad that there is not a "stretch"
command or code. for the form open event.

Thank you
