Is there a way you can shrink an everything in it to fit on a the screen?

[TSur]

I'm trying to do something like MS Word and a lot of different apps do where they can change the size of the working area to a different size so it can fit on the users screen. Where is has the % or Fit to screen. Is there a API function or anyway of doing something like this.

I am trying to have a form to be filled out that will be the same size as a sheet of paper. I want all the info to fit on the users screen but when it get's printed with a Form Print it fills the paper.

I want my printed form to have the same layout as the from itself. With Some of the background colors of textboxes being different so I can just print the text.

your EASIEST approach to this I would say woudl be either

1) use a data report for printing and a form for entering the data

2) use 2 forms... one screen size to enter the data.. and another one 8 1/2 x 11 ish to print the data.. when you click print on the first form it could just silently (invisible) load the second form, put the firsts forms data on it.. and print it

I don't think Form.Print actually prints anything that is not currently visible on the form, so you'd have to find another method of printing, one which im sure will give you headaches!!!!!!!! cuz it sure does to me!

VB Printing SUCKS!

Or is it just me?

I've used Kleinma's #2 suggestion before with very good results, as long as all the data fits on the form properly
