Dilemna

[Scientific]

Hello to all,

I created a form for my company that uses custom background images (all same
sizes) to fit a resolution of 10x7. However, some employee computers can
only display a resolution of 8x6. At 8x6 all form elements are misaligned
and some even creep of out view. I don't have much expertise at forms coding
so I'm at a loss as to how to fix this problem.

I know there are experts in this forum who can do most anything with Access
which is why I came here for help. There has to be some way to deal with
this as I'm sure Microsoft must have anticipated such a situation (hope I'm
not wishful thinking here).

Anyway, hope someone here or anywhere else in cyberspace has knowledge about
how to fix this and is willing to share it. Thank you very much to any who
care to respond.

I'd suggest using the tab control to logically break out the data into
two pages.

There is some shrinker stretcher software out there. Try Peters
software IIRC.

Tony,

Thank you very much for responding. I found Peters software page and the
application you spoke of. Will try it and see if it meets my needs. Again,
thank you so much for your response and your support.
