As a rule (with exceptions), I design forms to fit the smallest standard screen that will be used with the application, so users with the smaller screens do not have to deal with horizontal/vertical scroll bars; right now this size is still1024x768, although it is rapidly changing. If there are forms that will be accessed only by selected users that require more screen real estate and who have higher resolution screens; those forms are designed to the required, larger size. Likewise, some form that need to be used uniquely on handheld computers are designed to fit the lower resolution of these units. If you need more screen real estate, use tab controls; they allow you to organize the data in a logical manner and you do not have to deal with scroll bars. I personally prefer a form with multiple tabs rather than a large, very cramped one page/screen form.
