Newbie Quest : Stop Form Scaling?

[colttaylor]

Is there any way to not-scale a form? I have a form with 20+ controls on it and it is sized and arranged perfectly for an 800x600 screen. (I develop in 1600x1200)
I'm not the original author of this software and I'm very new to vb. Currently, the form enlarges itself when it is run at 800x600 res, and the users can't reach the controls along the right and bottom edges. All I want is for vb to show the form in the size that I created it, regardless of the current screen resolution.

What is the secret?

Thanks in advance!
Peace,
Colt

Actually, the form does not enlarge. The pixels are larger. Really. Unless there is code that changes the form, you do not have a form perfectly arranged for 800 x 600. To check, bring up VB in 800 x 600 res.

Do a search in this forum for screen resolution you'll find that there is no simple solution, but you should find many threads that can help.
