Myron:

Sounds like the form might be an all-in-one 'dashboard'. Might there be opportunities to solve the issue for all screen sizes by 'splitting the baby' into two (or more) MDI forms (meaning you can skootch them around, roll them up and down as needed)? Razzak provides a sample application in the 2018 SAT: "Roll Up and Roll Down MDI Forms"[1] which quite frankly is a master class on the topic. Also, ala Jan J., one bolded item, below.

Best, Bruce

Subject [RBASE-L] - Scaling a form that is large to fit on a laptop display

We have a form that:

Is connected to 10 tables.
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.



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
