How do I set up a center aligned form in Access across resolutions

[Guest]

I am setting up a database and have had a request the data entry forms be
center aligned across resolutions - this is a from that is full screen on 800
x 600 can be viewed at 1600x1200 in the center of the screen rather the the
top left corner

Set the form's AutoCenter property = Yes.

No, that's the one that does it. You just want the forms displayed in the
centre of the screen right?

Oh, OK. I didn't get that from the original post. After re-reading it a
couple of times, I can see that now. Thanks Rick.

In that case, ehjude, you have no option but to calculate the xy position of
every control on the form, and make rather heavy use of Me.InsideHeight and
Me.InsideWidth.

No, he wants a maximized form to always display its controls in the center of
the screen. The best solution of course is to NOT maximize the form.
