Align Controls on Form

Align Controls on Form

Hello,

Using Access ’03…

I have a db that’s distributed to many users. Those users have a
variety of monitors and resolution settings.

I’m finding that what looks good (the alignment of controls) on my
monitor may look like a disaster on another monitor (like the
widescreen kind).

Is there a way to align the controls on a form relative to the
monitor?

A possible solution that came to mind was to use an embedded picture
(which I have on my switchboard) that is always centered on the screen
regardless of monitor. Maybe it’s possible to write code that when
the form opens, the controls align themselves around the embedded
object.

Maybe that’s wishful thinking…
Thanks for any advice,
alex

the users monitor. Here is a link to one such addin:
