Hi All. I know the manual way to resize controls via code and how cumbersome and tedious it is because you have to do each control individually. At least that's how the books I have read showed how to do it. Is there any miracle code out there that says &quot;resize all controls proportionately to the screen&quot;?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Tim
 
nope<br>I just insist they have a 17&quot; monitor running 1024x768<br>Or go buy someone elses software.<br> <p>DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Ask me how Bar-codes can help you be more productive.
 
I have a sample database that I wrote that will show you how to force the screen resolution to be what you designed your database in, if you think it will help you. The user's in the company I work for use various resolutions, so when I design the database to fit in 800x600 and the user's resolution is 640x480, the forms do not fit. This code will set the resolution to 800x600 if it's not the current resolution then change it back to the original resolution when you close your app. If you would like a copy of this drop me an email and I'll send it to you.<br><br>Good Luck,<br>RDH<br><br> <p>Ricky Hicks<br><a href=mailto: rdhicks@mindspring.com> rdhicks@mindspring.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
There is a shareware product that I just bought for about $40 which saved me hours of work.&nbsp;&nbsp;I believe it's Peters Software.<br><br>Search through this forum for &quot;shrink&quot; and you may find it (or even &quot;Peter&quot;).<br><br><br>Dan
