Forms/DPI scaling issue

Have several desktops and a couple laptops running a MS Access 2003 app ... for the machines set to 120 dpi the screens look great using Arial Font 8 and 10 pitch ... now I have one user that wants to use 96 dpi but all the form labels are to big for the allocated space on the screen.

I have played with all of the form's auto controls but cannot seem to get anything to work in 96 dpi without doing a major form overhaul. I would expect that if it works at 96 it may then have issues at 120?

Has anyone found a way to get around this? I found some discussion on dpi scaling on MSDN ... something to the effect that DPI scaling is not handled properly for the MS foundation Class apps??? Not sure if that applies here?
