    how to adjust form size to window size?

    I prefer to work on my PC with a greater number of pixels displayed. However, the balance of my coworkers work in the 800x600 world. The forms I generate in 1024x768 appear too large on the 800x600 screens. Is there a way to automatically adjust the form to fit the users screen settings? Alvin

    I have a small application and need to run monthly queries/reports on the data. I have created a QBE query and have entered the month beginning and ending dates to collect the data I need for each month. There must be a way to have Paradox ask, when the query is run, for these two dates and...

    non-standard size reports

    I have some reports which are on larger format pages. Each time I want to run the report, I must go into the printer setup and reselect the correct paper tray. Is there a shortcut so this is automatic? Happy Thanksgiving alvinmcg
