scroll bars on form

Guest

My form needs scroll bars for a user who has a low resolution setting on her
computer screen. Even though the form property is set to "both" she insists
that her screen does not have either of the scroll bars. If I make the form
fit her screen, the fonts must all be very small and the form is less user
friendly for all the other users. Is there something on her computer that
causes the scroll bars to fail? I hope someone can help me. Thanks.

Maximize the form when it opens(using code or a macro), that will fit the
screen and put the scroll bars in the right place, it is possible that the
form is bigger that the work area and the user cannot see the bars,

Thank you. I think the form is larger than her screen area because it is
designed for a higher resolution and because there is a lot of stuff in the
form. It's good for most users. I already have the form maximized with a
macro. I thought the scroll bars would appear when needed to navigate the
form. They usually appear "as needed" so I don't understand why they do not
appear when the form is larger than the screen area. Does that explain it
better?

The border property setting is sizable. The form is a self designed
switchboard -- not using switchboard manager. It's just a plain form with
many buttons using large font labels for users to navigate the database. The
user I'm trying to accommodate has a vision problem.
