INTRODUCTION:

This Access MDB allows you install a module in your own Microsoft Access MDBs that can resize your application's forms to fit the current screen resolution.

REQUIREMENTS:

PC running Windows 95/8 with Microsoft Access 97/2000/2002 installed.

REMEMBER TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATABASE BEFORE PROCEEDING!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Note: Ensure that your destination database is NOT open before proceeding.

1. Click on the export button on the main form.
2. Locate your database using the Browse button on the export form.
3. Click on Export Module.
4. Now open your database.
5. If you have designed your database forms at any resolution other than 800 X 600 then you must prepare the modResizeForm module as follows:
      5a. Open the module modResizeForm under the modules tab of the database window.
      5b. Locate the the following line of code in the module: "Global Const DesignResolutionX = 800"
      5c. Delete "800" and enter your own design resolution select File -> Save  and close the module.
            (If you designed your forms at 640 X 480 then  DesignResolutionX= 640 etc etc)
      5d. Continue with the remaining instructions
6. Open a form that you want to resize in design view.
7. Select View -> Properties (if the property inspector is not already in view) and select the "Event" tab.
8. Select the form's "On Load" event and select "Code Builder".
9. Enter the following line of code: ResizeForm Me
10. Repeat steps 6-9 for any other forms that you want resized.
11. Select Debug -> Compile in the VBA Code Editor window to compile your code.

IMPORTANT PIONTS:

1. If any controls appear further up the screen than they should be then try opening the affected form in design view, scroll down to the bottom of the section affected (form header, form footer or detail section) and increase the height of the affected section. This can be a bit awkward as you will have to keep resizing the section until you get the best result for your form.

2. Tab controls do not resize very well for some reason.
