    I don't know if you can in 2003. Access 2010 has a button on the Help screen that will adjust the font size.

    Thanks June7.
    I was afraid of something like that.
    Three questions:
    1. Should I move up to Access 2007?
    (I never want to jump up too fast, so 2010 can wait.)

    2. How about somewhere in the Registry? (For 2003)
    ( Regedit32 seems easy enough)

    3. Should I start another thread to ask about #2 above, maby in an other Forum?

    Again Thanks for the reply.

    The jump 2003 to 2007 was not a big deal for me. I didn't have any projects that utilized the security features in 2003 which were dropped for 2007. 2007/2010 are supposed to recognize the security setup in mdb projects but I can't vouch for that. Don't think I've utilized anything that was new to 2007 (like the Split Form). I did set up a custom Ribbon/QAT in 2007 that would have been different coding in 2003. I don't want office to move up to 2010. I have used it at home and has a couple of annoyances I don't want at work and none of the big changes would I take advantage of. I have used one new 2010 feature for a personal project. 2010 Conditional Formatting has 50 settings now, from the previous 3.

    I don't know about No.2 but I doubt it. Start another thread on that topic if you want.
