Display Problems

[Guest]

Not sure if this is the right venue, but here goes...

Is there a way to set up the display of the database so that when different
users are using it, it shows up the same on different desktops?

The problem I am trying ot solve is that the database is "too big" for some
display settings and just right on mine...probably because my resolution
settings are different that theirs...

What then happens is they have to scroll around to see buttons and fields,
where it is all on one screen for me...

Solutions?

Thanks,

Chip

The best thing if there is any way you can do it is to design your form to
the largest screen resolution. If that creates a problem for smaller
resolutions there are some resizing utilities. This link has some more
information: http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0002.htm
I should say that as of the time of this posting the links to the free
utility in the Developer's Handbook did not work. I sent feedback pointing
that out, but that is all I can say about that.
I have used the free utility, and while it works it has some limitations,
including that it does not seem to work if there is another database already
open. I have not used any other resizing utilities, so cannot comment on
them.

Thanks, Bruce...the links didn't work for me either.

If that is my only option (resizing), I may pursue that...but I sure would
like to try that resizing tool!
