    Issue with screen resolution

    My database doesn’t fit well on some screens, especially my square screen desktop monitor with resolution 800 X 600.



    Most of the items gets hidden on this said screen.

    My access app was developed with access 2016 and on a 1366 X 768 screen resolution computer.



    Can anyone suggest a code to help fix my screen resolution issue.

    If I can’t get the code that will fit all screens, at least the code that can make my app fit to a known screen resolution I set in my vba code.

    Alternatively, I saw something about anchoring in access online. Can that fix my issue?

    My app runs on a full screen window

    A line in the module says
    Change the value above to then resolution you designed your form
    All my forms were designed with resolution 1366X768.
    How do I effect that change here?

    I imported the module modResizeForm into my database.
    And don’t know what else to do next.

    The screenshot is my code.
    I've replied to your PM at Access World Forums and referred you to my series of articles on automatic form resizing Automatic Form Resizing - 1 (isladogs.co.uk)

    I think it very unlikely that anchoring would work for your situation
