AD,
It is a great product.
I will try yours as well, I only have Access 2007 Inside Out so have not seen the one you spoke of.
Peter's is about 8000 lines of code so it will take me a while (long time) to pick up on anything, your contributions will help me incredibly though as always.
Thank you AD,
Stuart

Stuart,
I have not yet tried Peter's utility. However, it is spoken of highly and must be a great product.
The underlying approach used in my sample db (Form_Resize) is somewhat similar to that in ADH (Access Developers Handbook) - but with certain interesting enhancements.
As an experiment, if convenient, you might like to try it out as well.
Note:
Before conducting the trial, a careful study of explanatory notes accompanying the sample db is highly recommended.
Best wishes,
A.D. Tejpal

AD,
Is your resizer, like Peters?
If so I might have wasted some money.
Any differences?

David,
Amongst various alternatives, my sample db named Form_Resize (in access 2003 file format, reference: DAO 3.6), might also be of interest to you It is available at Rogers Access Library. Link:
http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=45
Apart from automatic resizing to suit current screen resolution, the sample offers custom resizing (up or down in steps of 5 percent) of any given form, if so desired by the user, with the option to freeze the custom size so that thereafter the form opens to custom size (over-riding the size dictated by actual resolution). At any stage the behavior can be reset to normal (i.e. automatic resizing to suit current resolution).
Resizing is effected through a self contained class. Six styles of demo forms are included in the sample as follows:
(a) Simple controls - all free to float and resize.
(b) Simple controls - with certain controls having tag property settings for locking their position and / or size.
(c) Combo box and list box.
(d) Nested subforms - Continuous.
(e) Nested subforms - Datasheet.
(f) Tab control having (i) Nested subforms and (ii) Option group. Also - an option group directly on the form.
Note:
------
(a) The sample db has also been tested successfully on Access 2010. Resize behavior of tab controls on access 2010 is found to be different from that in access 2003. Resize class in sample db duly caters for this peculiarity.
(b) It is observed that use of Times New Roman font provides most pleasing results.
Best wishes,
A.D. Tejpal

David,
I bought ShrinkerStretcher from peters software, it does all the adjustments for you.
It comes as modules which you import or copy and it works brilliantly.
Saves alot of time with all different types of monitors to adjust to.
There are alot of options which you can adjust to suit like minimum font sizes and heaps more.
It's great.

Thank you John, the business owners are a husband and wife team. They both
have widescreen laptops, but the office computer is 8 years old, is running
Access 2000, and has a 15 inch monitor, but the wife told me yesterday that
she is trying to encourage her husband to purchase a new office computer. If
they don't make that decision to buy one, I'll simply alter the two forms
that cannot be fully viewed on the 15 incher.
Have a great day,
David

David-
Know your user. You should always design to the screen size of your user's
machine, not yours. The most common ratio is 1024x768 - 4x3 - not
widescreen.
1280x1024 (10x8) is also common. Develop "wide screen" only if your user has
that type of monitor or screen.

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Can I alter the ration of the monitor
Great Day, I have developed an application in Access 2007 and it is on a
computer that runs Windows 2007. I have a 25 inch widescreen monitor, and I
am wondering if I load this application on another computer that does not
have a widescreen and is running XP if I can change the ration of the screen
so that it gives the widescreen effect, similar to the letterbox format of
the old VHS videos. I have loaded this program on my XP laptop and I'm only
getting about 40 percent of the screenview that I get on my widescreen
monitor, which causes me to have to do a lot of scrolling.
Any suggestions, or can what I want be done?
Thanks in advance,
David
