George, I didn't think so but now I know what I have to do...choose a custom screen size and make the changes. At least the code can remain.
I was going to do this on my laptop but now find that when I try to execute the program, I get a runtime error 429 that states "I don't have an appropriate license to use the functionality". I uninstalled and re-installed 6.5.3 but I am unable to delete the first NSBCEIDE.exe file so that it could be re-done. It says access is denied, it might be in use (is not) or write protected (the read only attribute is off) or disk is full (not a chance). Any ideas about the problem? Another issue: When I opened my app on my main computer (vista) I noticed that some textboxes have disappeared on 3 of the forms. They used to be there but now are gone. The command buttons are visible. I have not done any coding on this app for awhile but this is very strange. However, on a third computer the textboxes are there. Any reason for this anomaly?
