Form is being cut in half when opened by other users

[Guest]

Whenever other users open an application I built on their computer the forms
are resized and display incorrectly. Is there a setting I'm missing in the
properties or is there a setting that will force a particular size form?

Thanks

Access Forms (like just about any software) will take up more of the screen
on lower resolution monitors than on higher resolution monitors. Generally
it is best to design to the lowest resolution you intend to support.

There are screen resizing utilities or code you can use, but in general they
do a better job at making forms larger on hi-res displays (unnecessary) than
they do at making forms smaller on lo-res displays (which is what you need).

Alex,

Also try setting form 'auto resize' to yes, open the form, resize it, then
file / save.

I'm in the middle of these sorts of problems presently myself, but mine are
more along Ricks solution.
