Karen, Thank you.
We have been trying to solve this for months. Appreciate the response.

We played around with using that at a client who had all different resolutions, so I designed a form for the smallest resolution then did a "fill_screen" on all the other computers, but we didn't like the way the fonts were scaled and sometimes combo boxes were cut off.

Is connected to 10 tables. 2. Uses six Enhanced Group Boxes as containers for the data. The Goal: to be able to scale the form to fit on a laptop. The form is 1863 wide and 1066 high. The Border Style is set to sizable. The setup works fine on 24 or 27 inch displays. So, one of the people on our team, Jim, did the following: I found if the screen resolution on my laptop is set to 1920x1080 (recommended setting), the form displays correctly. However, I use a lower resolution of 1440x900 to make it easier to see. One option is to manually set the Windows screen resolution to 1920x1080 when displaying the form. Another is to hardcode the resolution to 1920 in the After Start EEP: PROPERTY RBASE_FORM SCALEBY '1920' Finally, it could be programmed in the After Start EEP with something like the following SET VAR vRes TEXT = (CVAL('SCREENSIZE')) -- Get screen size (e.g. 1440,900) SET VAR vSize TEXT = (SSUB(vRes,1)) -- Get first number (e.g. 1440) SET VAR vNewSize TEXT = NULL -- New screen size -- Resolution must be at least 1920 x 1080 for Property Search form to fit on the screen. If less, then set to 1920, else leave as is. IF vSize < '1920' THEN SET VAR vNewSize = '1920' ELSE SET VAR vNewSize = vSize ENDIF PROPERTY RBASE_FORM SCALEBY .vNewSize Note: I found the following in the Properties document for RBase Forms, but could not get it to work. PROPERTY RBASE_FORM SCALEBY 'FILL_SCREEN' Possibly there is another way to approach this. It's not something I've worked with before.
