   Amen.  To see that this is the standard way Windows works, do this:   
      
   1. Open the display properties window (right click on blank area of   
   Windows desktop, choose Properties).  Go to the Settings tab.  Make note   
   of the resolution.   
      
   2. Note how much space on the screen the dialog occupies.   
      
   3. Now change the resolution to something lower than it currently is and   
   apply (Do NOT close the dialog).   
      
   4. Note how much space on the screen the dialog occupies - it occupies   
   more space.   
      
   5. Now change the resolution to something higher than it originally was   
   and apply (again, do NOT close the dialog).   
      
   6. Note how much space on the screen the dialog occupies - it occupies   
   less space.   
      
   7. Repeat for each resolution.   
      
   The dialog does NOT change size.  It *looks* bigger or smaller based on   
   the resolution.   
      
   If your form is designed to take the whole screen at 800x600, leave it   
   that way.  When I run your form at 1920x1280, it will take up a small   
   portion of my screen (800x600 pixels, to be exact) and that is exactly   
   what I want.
