Anyone has an easy way to resize the forms and their
controls based on the user's choice of screen
resolution:600x480, 800x600, 1024x768.

Thanks
Edi
 
Hi Edi,

Short answer: Yes, this can be done.

Long answer:
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 recently as an
