Convert Access Database User Interface Screen Resolution

Hi All,

I finally finished my database design and ready to distribute the database application (front-end) to the users.

The database user interface is designed on a 1920x1080 screen resolution (I used DoCmd.Maximize to maximize the user interface when the form loads). It works with the 1920x1080 screens.

However, the smaller resolutions can only show part of the user interface. Are there anyways to get my user interface to show 100% on any screen resolutions? Please let me know! Thanks!

Sincerely,

Mel

As a developer you need to always develop for the lowest common denominator.  So if you have user running at say 600x800, then you need to mod you resolution to emulate it and then work within those limits knowing that if it fits on the lower resolutions, it will also work on the higher one.

If you want to make your application dynamically adapt to each user's resolution, then you'll need to purchase a tool, such as: http://www.peterssoftware.com/ss.htm
