Is there a property that I can set that will adjust my forms to the screen
size of the computer it is running on? My forms fit my screen that I'm
developing on, but don't look the same on other computer screens (i.e.
smaller).

Thanks for your help and Happy Hollidays to everyone.

The problem, I suspect, isn't really the screen size, but rather the screen
resolution being used by the other computers, and the problem is twofold;
making the form fill the screen AND making the controls appear in the same
(proportional) positions on the newly resized screen. There are several
workarounds out there, but "Screen Resizer" is one that I've used
successfully:

The author states that it works optimally when resizing forms to a higher
resolution (where the form would normally be smaller on the higher res screen)
which is how I've used it and I think from your post is the problem you're
having. Oh, yeah, and it's FREE!

The Windows calculator program is also not the same size on different display
settings. In fact just about ALL programs behave this way and that is because
it is the correct behavior.

People run higher resolutions to see "more", not the same thing only bigger. If
you use standard font sizes and the form is usable with your resolution setting
then it will be usable on whatever resolution the user might have.
