I am using MS Access 2000. Text in labels or buttons are
truncated due to resolution change. (Especially when the
same database is copied from a desktop to a laptop
computer.)
Is there way to prevent this, without enlarging these
controls?
My guess is that the resolution setting is not the issue, but rather the PC
where text is getting truncated is either using a different font-size
setting or they might be missing the font you used and Windows has made a
"best guess" substitution that is not quite the same size.
I had one instance where a distributed app (about 25 users) was
experiencing text truncation on one PC with XP. We found that his Arial
font files were different from other XP boxes we tested. We replaced his
Arial font files with those from another PC and the problem was gone. How
those files were changed was never discovered.
The form re-sizing code that some use to make the entire form adjust itself
on different resolutions "might" solve this text problem as well, but you
would have to try it to find out.
