Keeping FE display from changing on different monitors

[salmonella]

my Access db looks fine on my machine but on another computer, buttons and
text are distorted (for example, text will not fit in the button). Is there a
way to set things so that the FE looks the same on other computers as it does
on mine?

thanks

This is an issue many will encounter when they take their own pc as
reference. You should set you displaysettings to the settings for the people
you develop for. Often this will be the popular 1024 setting. These days
you'll find lots of widescreens so it will be hard to please everyone. Take
the average settings of user the develop by.

I found this was due to the resolution of the screen on a few programmes I
wrote. trying to get people to all run the same resolution is next to
impossible. I now write in low resolution and use a code to zoom to all other
resolutions. I think the code came from

There are third-party form scaling solutions available that might
help:

A shareware version of a form rescaling module I wrote called
ShrinkerStretcher is available at this web site: http://www.peterssoftware.com/ss.htm
.. It also adjusts for different monitor dpi and font settings.

There's a form resizer at http://www.jamiessoftware.tk/resizeform/rf_jump.html
..

Another one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/modscaleform

The Access Developer's Handbook has form resizing code included:
