    Auto resizing of forms when different sized monitors are used.

    Hi all, I have been asked the question about users that have laptops with varying sizes of screen that use a database I have designed, that some of the data is going beyond the right side of the screen, I designed the front end on a 17inch wide screen but some users are still using a 15inch laptop in the field.


    My question is, is it possible to have access to either place a horizontal scroll bar along the bottom for when it goes beyond the right side of the screen or better still auto format the forms to fit the screen size used, pretty much like you find in a web browser. I did once upon a time that something to do with anchoring etc. If someone could point me in the right direction I am sure I could figure it out. My main screen is a continuous form.

    You must design the form for the smallest screen a user has.

    Hi thanks for your reply, think I am abandoning that idea and going with what I have at the moment. If it becomes and issue I'll have to rethink my form structure.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
