Hello,

If the forms created with the windows desktop resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels, And then we run that form with another resulution, then the screen is either out of range or it is small, So please guide me how can we control the forms in different resolutions.

Thanks & Regards,
Faizan.

The short answer is that you can't. The long answer is that you test the size of the screen and then change the origin and length of ALL the fields in the When-New-Forms-Instance trigger. Remember that the user may have a start bar somewhere on the screen and maybe a MS Office bar as well. Oh, and is the user using big, small, or normal font?

Just write your screens for 800x600 normal font and let the user cope.
