[AccessD] Screen Resolution

[Ryan W]

I'd be interested to see this in action. I cannot imagine wanting to
stretch text/combo boxes out so much to fill a screen that they span a
giant portion of it?

My app was originally written in the 90s so most of my screens are still
stuffed up in the upper left corner of the access forms, because I haven't
seen a way to scale them up that makes sense... plus we still have a few
workstations with screens around 1440x900.. so I usually make the forms
work for the smallest size and then use the anchoring of certain controls
stretch right and down, and so forth.
