Dunno if this is the same Windows 8 as what your tablet has, but it's a
start.

And - what about the Menus? They ALSO have small fonts!
There must be some simple way around the problem. I figured that I should
simply be able to change the screen resolution - and that would resolve the
problem. But, it seems that Win8 doesn't even make THAT an EASY thing to do!
Or am I wrong???

Kurt,
you could look at the various resizer classes available to automatically
resize your forms, or try using anchors to resize things.

Yes - it does Rotate when Tablet is rotated!

I asked my Tech support buddy (who - is actually the Brother of my Boss -
where My Buddy is Cool - my Boss is most definitely NOT!) - if he could
simply change the Win8 Resolution - just like we normally do on a Desktop
PC
(well - at least you COULD do that in prior Win versions - I don't know
enough about Win8) - and he claims it only allows you to change it between
2
resolutions - and the Smaller one - it actually does something like
Chopping
off on the Sides - and making Unusable Screen Real estate! Hope this makes
sense what I wrote - since it does NOT make sense that the OS is running
this way!
Maybe it's a problem w/Dell & its Tablet version - and its Drivers! I was
hoping we could simply lower the overall resolution of the Tablet - and
that
would make our App look Normal - and decent font sizes. But, so far - it
seems that this can NOT be done!
At this point - any input would be helpful. Since I am WAY Too busy on
this
main system conversion (and, of course, the pressure is on ME to Save my
Boss and his Co. by converting the old System) - as such, the Bozo
Programmer next to me has to work on this App for the Tablet. So, he needs
simple solutions - since, anything too complicated - he will just start
arguing Out Loud with my Boss that its TOO COMPLICATED!!! And - he gives
me
a Bloody Headache when he does this!

This is why most IDE design nowadays is based around anchors and
relative sizes etc. You'll have to implement some sort of automatic
resizing in your VFP app. Does this tab rotate the screen based on
orientation or anything ?
