change screen resolution and back to he origial

[2009luca]

I need to check in Auto Open event of workbook if the current screen resolution is 1024*768, if not set 1024*768.
In Close event of workbook, set the orginal/initial screen resolution of the pc suser.

Possible.?
Tks.

Is there a good reason for setting the screen resolution which changes every open application versus setting the zoom level?

I have to echo Duane's question, with some stress - I cannot imagine any justification for doing this. Screen resolution, and zoom levels, are USER settings; just because you can change them does not mean you should.

I also note that messing with screen resolutions is very difficult - there are so many possibilities to consider: what do you do if the screen isn't capable of 1024*768? What do you do if the screen is in portrait orientation? What do you do in a multi-monitor set up? What do you do if the user changes the screen resolution while your workbook is open? And so on, and so on, ...


Enjoy,
Tony
