How do I set my forms height and width to say 800x600 (my actual resolution is 1024x768) but just setting form.hieght = 800 returns a very small form 9even when its set to 3 - Pixel). Does anyone know how do set the form to various resloutions, the controls look fine.

Your Form ScaleMode property is probably in the default units of twips. Perhaps = 800 * screen.TwipsPerPixel. See Screen object ScaleMode property.

You specified it. I did not see it BUT Height and Width are EXTERIOR while ScaleHeight and ScaleWidth are interior.
This works for me.
Me.ScaleMode = 3
Me.Height = 600 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
Me.Width = 800 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
This works for me.
Me.ScaleMode = 3
Me.Height = 600 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
Me.Width = 800 * Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
