    Scaling Screen Size

    Hi,


    I'm a very basic Assess user, hence I do simple stuff. Recently I completed a data base I developed on my 27" desktop computer. After I was satisfied with the results I copied the DB on to my 10" lap top. The result was too large for the lap top screen. So I copied the DB to my Wife's laptop with a 15" screen. The display results were similar, too large for the screen.

    Is there a way to scale things developed on a large screen down so it can be played on a smaller screen?
    By the way I'm using Access 2010.

    Thanks,
    Carmine

    The usual approach is to develop on the lowest resolution, not the highest.
    You might want to look into Isladog's db sample for resizing things.

    Drop him a line there and tell him I said his examples and samples image links back to the same loading page, whereas the others seem to work. If it were not for that, I might have been able to find the sample db for this (at least I seem to recall there was one there).

    Thanks @davegri and @micron for providing the links to my website.
    The links at the bottom of the home page no longer work. The links on the menu at the top are still functional (for now)

    @Carmine
    Let me know if you have any questions once you have looked at the three part article and example app. I have a newer version of the app if needed.
