[trooperduper]

I am only moderately familar with Access Forms. I am trying to find out how to cause forms to resize automatically for any size screen.

Writing your own code will be long and tedious. There are two excellent products I know of on the market that will do what you want, though the have their limitations.

One is from FMS (

http://www.fmsinc.com).

It called Resizer and it comes packaged as part of their "Total Access Components" package. It sells for 199 and has a lot of other components you might find useful.

The other is called ShrinkerStretcher by Peter De Baets (

http://www.peterssoftware.com)

and it costs $36.00.

I have used both of them with very satisfactory results. John Ruff - The Eternal Optimist

Or, you can purchase or get a hold of the code that comes on the CD with the Access 97 Developer's Handbook by Litwin, Getz, Gilbert (SYBEX). I am sure it is also in the 2000 version.

OR (just searched the web) you can go to the following link and download the code from them for free:

I STRONGLY suggest this book... Terry

Most of Sybex Access 97 books are worth the money. Another FREE resizer I've seen is Fusion ResizeForm you can get it at:
