Never done this but this seemed to work:

Code:

Me.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width

Why not just set the Forms Windowstate to maximized or are you changing the size more than once?

I agree with RealNickyDude, that should be the easiest. But maybe you just want to set the width to screen size but not the height.

Never thought of that!

No problem!

I just got worried it didn't as the discussion got along without the confirmation...
