Is it possible to change resolution in a form?
If that's the situation, it's poorly designed... design for the lowest user
resolution try dividing the form into linked forms or a tabbed form. People are bound to make mistakes or leave data out with too many fields. "hanski" wrote: hi.

Is it possible to change resolution in a form?
A question like this suggests that you should first examine the design of
your tables. It sounds like your tables are not normalized. Steve "hanski" wrote in message ... hi. I have one form which is full of everything, so I thought is is possible via VBA, for instance, to change screen resolution higher? t hannu |

Is it possible to change resolution in a form?
The original post mentioned nothing about the way the form was "fed". On
what basis are you assuming this implies a problem with table normalization? (not that I'd necessarily disagree, but curious how you arrived there...) Jeff "Steve" wrote in message m...

Is it possible to change resolution in a form?
As suggested in a couple of the responses, stuffing more controls onto a
form doesn't make that form more usable. There are ways to 'stack' (see tab controls) data without showing it all at once. And to follow up on Steve's implication, what is the source of the data displayed in the form -- describe in some detail, with example data if you wish more specific suggestions.

Is it possible to change resolution in a form?
Thanks.
"Steve" wrote in message m... It sounds like the OP has an inordinate number of fields on his form. If it takes a large number of fields to display some functionality of the database, that's a red flag that there could be something wrong with the design of the tables. I'm not saying there is; just saying the OP should look there first instead of trying to put a bandaid on a problem. Steve "Jeff Boyce" wrote in message ...
