If that's the case, I'd recommend a splash or opening form that runs a
couple of procedures to check resolution size and font size and let the
user know if the user's system doesn't meet your design requirements.
I've been doing this for time immemorial with a label or disabled &
locked text box that says:
"This application has been designed for a minimum screen resolution of
1024 by 658 [or 800 by 600 or whatever] and small fonts"
and then a disabled & locked text box which tells the user what res and
font size they are set to. If minimum requirements are not met, then
"Warning! - " and " - You may have difficulty with some screen displays"
prefixed and suffixed and perhaps the fore colour turned red.
There's code on the Access Web by Dev Ashish for screen resolution and
while there may be something there too for font size, I started using a
while ago code from Randy Birch's VB net pages. I don't have the URLs
handy right now and am on very slow dial up at home so if you can't find
these, drop a note here tomorrow and I'll look for em at work.
