    You should design it for use on the lowest resultion you want your app to support. If its 800x600 then design the form in that resoultion.

    You could always set the Borderstyle to 1 (fixed) and the Windowstate to 2 (maximised) to always use the maximum screen size available. Setting Borderstyle to 0 (no border) and Windowstate to 2, gives you a full screen App, you will need some way to close it though. Screen.Width and .Height give you the screen size (in twips, so divide (\) by Screen.TwipsPerPixelX/Y for pixels)

    Some luddites still use 640x480

    forgive me for being obvious
