    Fields Overlapping


    Hi, I have an embedded form that looks and works perfectly on my machine. I sent the DB to a colleague and the fields are overlapping on his machine for some reason, like one infront of another. Why would it appear differently on his machine and how can I solve the issue?

    Thanks.

    And of those, the most likely culprit is different screen resolutions. There are programs out there that address the issue, to some degree or other, but they all work best when 'upsizing' Forms, which can be problematic.

    The best policy in programming is to always work in the lowest common denominator you're apt to encounter with your end users! Develop in the oldest version of Access you'll run into, and likewise, develop using the lowest screen resolution.
