Default How develop for multiple screen resolutions.

One of our developers developed an Access db using his PC which is at
1024x768 resolution. When I tried to run it on my PC set to 800x600
resolution, it was totally unusable since the scrollbars were off the screen,
so were parts of the forms. Is there any way around this problem? In other
words, how do you develop forms that will look ok on a 800x600 screen and
also a 1024x768 screen.

You have to develop for the lowest resolution that will be used.
