Changing Resolution

[Lulu]

Is there a way to adjust a users Windows resolution?

I have many users -- each with their own resolution.
Some are at 800 X 600, some at 1024 X 768, some at 1280 X
768 and so on. As a result, some users are able to easily
see all the features on an app and some aren't. Is there
a way to set a user at an appropriate resolution and then
reset the user back to his/her settings?

Is there some other solution for this problem?

ACK! Don't change the user settings. They set them up,
and they want them that way. Even for your app.

You can scale your forms to match the user's resolution:

Or, you could create 3 different versions of the form and
open it dependent on the user's resolution.

Looked at one of the sample downloads -- ADHResize.zip --
Way cooool! I knew there had to be a smarter way than
fiddling with the usre's settings. This is definitely
something to incorporate in every design.

Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
