[AccessD] Change resolution of forms

Rocky,

The reason this is happening (I think) is that in order to use the old ADH
code (I used it myself) you had to design for the smallest resolution, i.e.
you manually edited the controls down to that size (or set it all up
actually using 640x480).  I know of nothing that will go in and resize
everything for you, though there may be tools like that.

Subject: [AccessD] Change resolution of forms


Dear List:

I have an application which I developed many years ago on a machine with a
screen of resolution 640 x 480.  I used the ADH resizing code so the form
would fill the screen regardless of the target machine resolution.

I don't use that resizing code in my apps anymore and I would like to
abandon that now in this app and go with a straight 800 x 600 which is what
my screen is set to.

But the 640 x 480 resolution seems to be a part of the form somehow and each
of the controls as well because if I copy over the controls, they don't size
correctly on my 800 x 600 screen.  They appear smaller as they would when
you put a 640x480 form or control on an 800 x 600 screen.

Plus any new forms I've added to this app recently original in 800 x 600 and
that's fine.

Is there a simple way to make these old forms all 800x600?

MTIA,
