I made an Access Application on my Laptop.....
I opened it on a 17" Monitor.....
The Forms were small like on my Laptop....
How do you get the screens to size automatically according to Monitor?
Is this a problem?
Thanks

Sounds like the two computers involved are set at different
screen resolutions.

So its the screen resolution that sets the size of the Documents?
Thanks

If you design a form on a computer whose screen resolution is
set at 800 x 600, then display that form on a monitor wherein
the screen resolution is set to 1024 x 768, then your form will
appear smaller. Typically, development work is done with
screen resolutions set to 800 x 600.

Hope this helps to understand what it is you're experiencing.

1024 X 768 Should change 800 x 600? Will that absolutly through
everything off that I did?

You can use any screen resolution you want. We use 800 x 600
as a general design point so that the forms will appear smaller,
worse case, whenever they're displayed on a screen with finer
resolution. If the form is for you own use, then set the design
resolution to whatever pleases you.

I've only had one application where there was justification for
supporting dual form sizes. DON'T go there unless it is
critical to the application.

Well actually I want the screen size to be bigger, so I guess I'll stay
put. Thank You for the education though.
I appreciate it!
