Form size conflict between development PCs

I'm writing an application for a specific screen size for a project. It
works fine on my desktop at work, but when I try to tele-commute via VPN &
Remote Descktop I can only access part of the forms in the Forms Editor on
my widescreen laptop that has a lower height resolution than the destination
PC. VB crops my form to the laptop screen size and will not allow me to
increase it.

I realize that I will not be able to run the application in full screen, but
I would like to at least access the whole form.

Any ideas?

Strange ,,,,


I access through VPN and RDP my development PC wich has 2 high resolution 19
inch screens atached with my laptop with a 15,4 inch screen
and i do not have anny problems at all , okay the screen is different as it
is on my work ( some scrollbars here and there ) but okay what would
someone expect ?

AFAIK , it is actually RDP that sends the image information to your laptop
through VPN you can change the size in the remote desktop settings pannel
( i look at a dutch screen so some translatuions might be wrong but afaik
the position is the same )

Options , second tab , size of remote desktop
 
Thanks for your input Michel.

I tried your suggestions, but I keep running into the problem that no matter
what screen size I set then VB resets the form sizes on my remote project to
be a maximum of the selected screen size.

I have changed the AutoScroll property to True and that at least gave me
another set of scrollbars which allow me to move around on the form. When
I'm next at my desktop I'll try to lock the forms and see if that keeps VB
from resetting the form sizes. But for now this will do.
