forms and reports size problem when file is transfered to a laptop

[Guest]

Hi everyone,
I hope that you may be able to save me many hours of work.
I have created a Database in access 2003 on my home desktop pc. I have
transferred the database to a laptop computer and all the forms and reports
no longer fit the sceen. Prior to doing the transfer, I had to convert the
applicatioon to access 2000 as that is the version on the laptop. The forms
and reports are now off-centre and too large for the laptop screen. I have
altered the screen resolution to the highest setting however this setting
does no match my home pc. Is there a way to resize the forms and reports to
make them fit to a different screen resolution without having to adjust all
of them in the design mode. If I do that, then it will not fit my pc.
Any help will be most appreciated.
many Thanks
Allan

There are routines to resize forms. You will find a couple at

Wayne,
Are there any other routines available that a new access user might
understand. Also, I tried one of the modules and kept getting a file error. I
open the demo database and that also returns the same error.
Thanks

Those are the only ones that I've tried. None of them work perfectly, but
they do a fairly good job. Perhaps someone else knows of some others, but I
wouldn't expect any of them to be very simple, it is a lot of work to resize
everything and keep the proportions correct.

Wayne,
Many thanks for your assistance.
I finally got one to work.
