What i just did, I get the current user resolution then do math to 1024x768 so I can get the left and top. Even I cannot managed to resize the access window on the current forms open Im happy now as I need that only on my startup & logon form but I will still dig for that as Im sure it just a matter of math... -----Original Message----- From: ms_access@yahoogroups.com <mailto:ms_access%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:ms_access@yahoogroups.com <mailto:ms_access%40yahoogroups.com> ]On Behalf Of George Oro Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 11:06 AM To: YG Access Dev; ms_access@yahoogroups.com <mailto:ms_access%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: RE: [ms_access] Resize Access Window Thanks Neil... I found something yesterday in my archive to Hide the Application Window. So what it does it resize the access application window to zero and I managed to resize it 1024x768. Then, I disabled the restore button of the main access window and set my main form to movesize to 0, 300 so it fits to the corner top left and maximized. So basically it does the trick but if the user used higher than 1024x768 my application will open on the top left corner with 1024x768 size then user can resize the window by dragging it which still Im trying to avoid but once they close and open again the size restore to 1024x768. Not bad at all. I believed I cannot avoid the user to resize the window manually. What Im trying to play now or is to open my application in the center of the screen if they used higher than 1024x768 instead on the top left or better yet resize the access windown according to the current form open. Im sure there's some easy way to get the actual size of the form and convert it to pixels.

The consensus of the book is that people who have monitors that support larger than 1024X768 resolution, it's usually because the users are power users and will often have more than one app open at a time. They don't want a single app taking up the whole screen. They can size the application so it looks good on their screen and possibly have another application on the monitor to the right of it in case they are doing comparisons or what not. So personally I'd design for 1024X768 and allow the users to size the application so it looks good if they have a higher setting.

My application is currently design to 1024 (maximize on load). Yesterday I encounter one new user using higher than 1024 then my application doesn't look so good. So if I can resize to 1024 then any resolution execpt 800x600 which it will be ok.. I read before that the main access window can resize according the current form open and it looks like a stand alone application using hwnd something. I google and found exactly in p2p but no code and can't get his email address..
