[AccessD] Screen Resolution

LOL - Stubborn 'ol coots!
;o)

Have you tried to set their default fonts and icons to large or extra large?

IME it usually gets them past it. Not all though. Unfortunately most of the
clients I write apps for aren't local so I don't do onsite support for them.

LOL.  Even when they do the old folks are likely to complain bitterly about
trying to go to anything higher.  "We can't read the tiny print". 
  been there, listened to that.  My clients now have at least 17" 
screens but are still sitting stubbornly at 800x600.
