FP2003 offers 12 table layouts. Those layouts are for 15 inch monitors. What
dimensions should those table layout have for 17 inch monitors?

How big is the browser on these monitors? Monitor size and Screen
resolution have little to do with the size of the browser (except
specifying the maximum size).
You should decide how small your web display should be, not how big.
I design for a browser opened to 800x600 pixels - which displays on most
monitors, no matter what size.
 
A good general rule is to determine the width you want to target for, say
800 pixels for 800x600, and subtract 40 (760 pixels in this case). That
leaves enough room for the typical margin, browser border, and a vertical
scrollbar. When figuring out the table cell widths, find the one that would
typically be used for a sidebar or navigation and leave that one alone and
increase the larger area which usually indicates the main content.
 
Whatever source you used to determine that those "12 table layouts are for 15
inch monitors" would be the perfect source to answer your question of what
the dimensions should be for 17 inch monitors! If you can't find it there,
reread Ronx and Mark Fiszpatrick's responses and build to the browser, not
monitor.
 
Thank you DonL.

FP2003 was my source. The table layouts I was referring to have dimensions
displayed once you click on the table.
