Sizing my Form

How do I get my form to open up so it shows everything no matter which
computer it is displayed on?

I have tried AutoResize and it did nothing.
 
During your Form_Load event for the Form, add the following line of code:

DoCmd.Maximize

That is the best way to make sure that anything that is designed as being
visible on a single form is visible to the user.

Computers with different screen resolutions will display differently from
each other unless you use a third-part resizing utility. Access has no
built-in way of handling this. If possible, design to the lowest resolution.
In some cases this may make the display difficult to read on a monitor with
higher resolution. In that case here are a couple of links:
http://www.developershandbook.com/

The first link includes a free version of code to resize the display. I
have used it with reasonable success. You need to design to the lower
resolution (e.g. 800 x 600), then the utility rezizes for a monitor with
higher resolution (e.g. 1024 x 768). The second link is a program you would
need to purchase. I have not used it. You will no doubt find others if you
do a search.
