*********************************
Method #1
*********************************
One way is to come up with 2 settings: 800x600 and 1024x768(or greater).
When your program starts, you find the users screen resolution like this:
theWidth = screen.width
theHeight = screen.height
(Applause, Applause! No fancy API is necessary for this!)
Now that your code knows the user's screen resolution you can then position
your controls accordingly:
cmdSave.move (100, 200, cmdSave.width, cmdSave.height)
txtInput.move(700, 200, txtInput.width, txtInput.height)
and so on.
*********************************
Method #2
*********************************
you can also "rubberize" your form by using the Form_Resize() Routine.
This is a teadious task, especially if you have many controls on your form.
Following is some code from one of my productional programs:
Private Sub Form_Resize()
lstCustomers.Left = 100
lstCustomers.Width = frmExportAllCustomers.Width - 200
lstCustomers.Top = 100
lstCustomers.Height = frmExportAllCustomers.Height - 1200
cmdExport.Top = frmExportAllCustomers.Height - cmdExport.Height - 500
cmdExport.Left = frmExportAllCustomers.Width / 2 - (cmdExport.Width / 2)
End Sub
This is from a form with very few controls. Obviously if there are a lot of
controls and every control positions itself off of the control before it
this can get CrAzY - it is also a lot of fun if you have time on your hands.

Method 3
***********************
You can find a 3rd party control that will do this for you.
I think .NET will also do it for you.
