Form resolution

[Guest]

I have designed a huge database with the resolution 1024*768. Now with a new
PC, I am working on resolution 1280*1024.

When I try to continue improving this database with the new resolution, the
database becomes messed up.

For example font size 10 in the database when I did with the previous
resolution does not match a textbox font size 10 when I use current
resolution.

My question is, do I have to change the resolution of the PC each time I
decide to improve the database, or is there a way to change settings of this
database, so I can continue to work in a different resolution?

Thanks

Jack,

Did you try selecting the control that has the formats set the way you want
them and selecting Format -> Set Control Defaults?

Jack,

There are third-party form scaling solutions available that might help:

A shareware version of a form rescaling module I wrote called
ShrinkerStretcher is available at this web site:

There's a form resizer at http://www.jamiessoftware.tk/ .

The Access Developer's Handbook has form resizing code included:

Hope this helps,
