I have a question that I cannot seem to find the answer to.

I have a custom database application that I have written and deployed; however, the application was written with display settings of 1280x1024 on my PC. Most of the users of this application/database do not have this as their default screen resolution, and they are now having to change their desktop settings every time they need to access the database/application (and this can be many times during the course of 1 day). This is, obviously, not an optimal situation.

Does anyone know if there is a way to programmatically change the properties of the forms or the database itself to run on any PC regardless of screen resolution so that all of the information on the form displays? Example:

Form 1 is 6 inches in height, and displays properly in 1280x1024. User 1 has resolution 800x600 as default, so only the top 3.5 inches of the form show. The user cannot see the bottom of the form.

Is there a setting or property that can be set so that regardless of the screen resolution on any machine the form(s) displays properly?

Thanks a bunch, guys. Way to actualy help out here. The only response to this thread is my own response to say thanks for nothing.

Forget this place. You won't see me helping anyone around here anymore. I'd rather take a sharp stick in the eye.
