Screen Res.

[smitty]

I created a database app. using 1024 x 768.
If I change the res to 800 x 600, I can't get
to all of the form.
What do I do?

resize your controls accordingly

You should develop all your apps in 640 x 480 (or at least test them in that resolution before distributing them). If you are not willing to do that and you have VB6 you can click on View>Form Layout to display that window and then right-click on the form layout window and turn on Resolution Guides. The result of that will be that the next time you open any project, your forms will appear as a little icon in the window and you will be able to tell if they fit in the various resolutions. By dragging the icon around that window you can also set it's startup position.

Are there not some programs or code out there that you can add to your project that will resize your controls and forms according to the screen size. I have added code to my project that does this. I don't have it with me right now but I'm sure there must be more sophisticated addins out there.
