Default how to dynamically change screen size by converting twips

Does anyone know how to dynamically resize an Access form to fill the current
window? What properties would provide the twip count? Is this the way to do
it?

Thanks

The twip count is the form's width or length multiplied by 1440

There is code in Ken Getz's Access Developer's Handbook:

and a commercial product named Shrinker-Stretcher:
