How do I code a user form to maximize on open ? Some of my users have
resolution on their monitor set so they can't see all objects unless form is
open full size
 
That worked great - do you know if I could set up a button to change the
display ? Some of my users have a screen resolution that causes the objects
to be pretty large...
 
You could change the display resolution. If you did that on my computer, I would
come lookin' fer ya. And I wouldn't be happy.

You can look at resizing the form and controls.

You have several options. Firstly, you could recreate your forms suitable for
different resolutions, and then use a startup form that will open the correct
form after checking for the user's resolution - there is code for detecting the
resolution here -

Alternatively, you could resize your forms using a utility (note that this
appears to work best when you have designed at a low resolution, ie 800x600,
and convert to a higher resolution, such as 1024x768). Firstly, there is
ShrinkerStretcher, a utility from Peter de Baets, available at
http://www.peterssoftware.com . Secondly, there is code in the Access
Developer's Handbook by Litwin/Getz/Gilbert, and they have put an MDE (for both
A97 and A2K) on their site at http://www.developershandbook.com
 
John,
I'll check all that out - thanks !
