Access on different monitors

[RBDU]

Hello All! thanking anyone for a reply. A2000.

I designed a database and installed it on a computer for single user use.
The forms were designed for that particular sized monitor.

Now it is on the LAN and all sorts of different size monitors are used.

What is available so the forms resize to fit the monitor being used.

Regards Peter

RBDU,
There is no perfect way to do that... and it's not the size of the
monitor that matters, it's the resolution (800x600, 1024x768, etc...)
Here's a pretty good list of apps and code to try from a post by Jeff
Conrad...

1. Download an MDE file from the Developer's Handbook web
site. You can then reference that MDE in your application
to use the resize code.

2. Purchase the Developer's Handbook for your version of
Access. In my opinion the book is WELL worth the money.
Not only do you get the resize code, but a wealth of other
information, code, and database samples. Go to the same
site listed above for more information.

3. Peter's software has a resizing utility at:

4. The following link has also been posted as an alternative:

5. FMS has a sizer module:

6. Here is another possibility, but I have no experience
with this one either:

Jeff,
Good deal... Actually I went to Google groups and found used your reply,
because I hadn't dealt with scaling for some time now. The last time I used
resolution scaling was with code from Ken Getz - "Access 2.0 How To."
Whew... that was years ago!
Thanks for the tip...
