    Sizeing of forms for screen


    I have a database setup and operating for a client and all works well with their desktop monitors. Some users are starting to use their laptops for the program. The issue is that some of the forms used do not fully show on their laptop screens, in other words, the need to scroll to the right to see the right portion of the form.
    My question, is there a setting, or some code that will fit (resize) the form on their laptops?
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    In addition to that link, I have published several example apps at another forum which include open source form resizing code by Jamie Czernak
    For example, see: https://www.access-programmers.co.uk...ht=form+resize

    Feel free to download the example & if you like how it works, copy the module modResize to your own apps.
    To use the code, just add one line to each form_load event: ResizeForm Me
