In your code below the second PixelsPerInch - is that a form property? Eg if Screen.PixelsPerInch <> form1.PixelsPerInch then
Because I tried to use this code above to detect when a user has a non 96PPI screen, and it didn't work. I am guessing the reason is that I let the application create the forms on startup and when I test using this code the form is already created and the test above then returns true (they are equal) - but I am guessing....

Background: I have some forms I resize according to users screen resolution, and also settable options which font sizes are to be used in grids, and also default row height. Both specified in points. Behaves nicely on most screens -Except- Where screen has been set to use large fonts, eg 120DPI, eg Windows 98 with a large resolution LCD screen. The fonts I have set in the grid then become enormous, nothing like 8 pt which is the default and unreadable. So how do I detect the DPI setting, what does it mean for my app, and how do I adjust the font size.....I am able to do that, but unsure what to adjust. Any advice or web sites?
