How does one have an Access database form fit any monitor screen accessing
the database at the open stage? At work there are different PC monitor
screens and I would like for when any user regardless of the monitor size,
opens the database, for him/her to be able to see the form as designed.. for
it all to fit on the screen. Currently, it's either too big or too small
depending on what PC one is using. HELP!!!!
 
Hi,

You can add code to your forms that will resize all
controls to various screen resolutions. Here are some
links for you if you want to pursue that option.

1. Download an MDE file from the Developer's Handbook web
site. You can then reference that MDE in your application
to use the resize code.

2. Purchase the Developer's Handbook for your version of
Access. In my opinion the book is WELL worth the money.
Not only do you get the resize code, but a wealth of other
information, code, and database samples. Go to the same
site listed above for more information.

3. Peter's software has a resizing utility at:

4. The following link has also been posted as an alternative:

5. FMS has a sizer module:

6. Here is another possibility, but I have no experience
with this one either:
