Altering screen resolution

[MartinF]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to detect and alter the screen resolution from an Access module, and if so how?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You'll need to look into Windows API functions. I can't help you here, I only know how to do such things in C/C++ with WinAPI and DirectX - but you can use WinAPI in VB.

Hello Martin;

Some good sources of info on reaching the Win API are in these books:
Access97 Developers Handbook by Paul Litwin, Ken Getz, Mike Gilbert
Visual Basic 5.0, Programmers Guide To The Win32 API by Dan Appleman

Good Luck!
Chell

Martin, if you will email me so I have your email address, I will send you a sample db in Access 97 that I wrote that will show you how to do this.
