hi,

i'm developing a system for my boss, everything going ok...

i made every form so that is fits perfectly inside a screen with an 800x600 resolution, everything was going fine until i tested it on her system...

the forms wouldn't fit in a single screen anymore,
i did some research and found out that the user has her
windows fonts set at 115% normal size. (this isn't done by using the large font theme from windows... its a different feature)

i would like to know if there is a way to "overide" her windows settings and have the form display with normal font sizes (100% instead of 115%) because i cant shrink the forms to fit inside a single screen...

i cant just shrink the font size because in my form because the other users wont be able to read the form.

ps: the user would still be able to read the access font at 100% size... i asked :)

i really dont know if this is possible...
but i really really hope it is

thanks you in advance
Eric


 
sorry about the bad grammar guys :)

in other words, i just want to know if i can make the fonts in access behave independently from windows

thanks
