Hi

How can I change the display screen from 800X600 to another one from
VB code and change it back to normal after they close the database? I
have some Access Forms that need to expand. If my users are using
800X600 display, it will not fit all the control on the form.


Thanks.
 
You will need to dig into the Windows API to do this.

Although it can be done. Just keep in mind. One of the biggest forbidden things you can do is to play with the Windows screen
resolution of a user's computer from your application.

The "proper" etiquette is to find out what the user's screen resolution is and modify your application to fit properly.

Start by looking at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;210106 and
http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0002.htm.

Good luck.
