      From: liz@paradoxcommunity.com              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.              Liz                     Dennis Santoro wrote:       >       > So, in summary, pick a size.
