    Zoom feature in a form

    I would like to add a zoom feature to a form. If I size the window down to the point where it cuts off some of the fields, I enabled the vertical and horizontal scroll bars for the user to navigate throughout the form to see everything they need to. However, is there a way to size the contents in the form down, in other words, zoom out so even if I size the window down, I can see everything in the now smaller window?

    None that I know of. Reports have a zoom behavior.

    Really? I saw this video of a guy sizing the form window and when he releases the mouse button, it sizes all the content in the window to fit its size. It was pretty cool but the darn guy doesn't explain how he did it. I'm not sure if he was trying to sell third party software to make this happen or not. Anyway, it was exactly what I wanted and I would think there is a way to do it. I just want it so that if I make the window large, all the content becomes larger and stays centered and the same goes for when I size the window smaller. I want everything to get smaller and stay centered.

    Everything I find seems to concern dynamic resizing and scaling to accommodate different screen resolutions. That doesn't seem to be your requirement but maybe the same code would be adaptable to what you want.

    I downloaded the file but was not able to open the .mdb since I'm running Office 2013. I think they don't support that format anymore. Is there a way to convert it?

    Just realised the thread is 4 years old and i'm not sure what rubio's response is referring to or indeed means.
    The following was originally intended as a response to the OP.....

    Have a look at my automatic form resizing tutorial including an example with all required code
    http://www.mendipdatasystems.co.uk/a...g-1/4594554784

    Although mainly intended for resizing forms for use with different size monitors and resolutions, I've also included a zoom feature which should fit your rather unusual requirements. The screenshot shows a very simple application of this feature with a slider control for zooming between 50% and 150% of normal size
