    Screen Perfect (Magnified) causes problems

    I noticed Windows 7 users, that have there "screen size" percent other than 100% (default), my forms for my access database become uneven/distorted. Text doesn't align correctly on a screen size at 150% when it's made evenly on a 100%.



    This is the Windows 7 option I'm talking about.

    When set to a value other than 100%, all forms appear wrong.
    Anybody run into this problem? I'm guessing it might be a cleartype issue.

    You may need to adjust your form fonts based on the system display font size. There are third-party form scaling solutions available that might help:

    A trial version of a form rescaling module I wrote called ShrinkerStretcher is available at this web site: http://www.peterssoftware.com/ss.htm

    There's a form resizer at http://www.jamiessoftware.tk/resizeform/rf_jump.html .

    Another one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/modscaleform

    The Access Developer's Handbook has form resizing code included:
