Hello all,
Can someone please explain to me how I can get my form to look the same on everyone's pc
I understand that I am sizing my form to pixels and that it is displayed using twips, which seem to be different based on the users computer, something like 12 to 18 or so.
My problem is that I get my form looking nice and pretty and the user runs it and lo and behold the form is not the correct size.
My question is this, am I supposed to resize every form on the load based on a calculation of twips to pixels, or am I missing some property where I do not have to worry about all this extra effort
Thanks for any help guys and gals, t is appreciated...

no resizing is nessesary. The form 'should' keep it's original shape no matter what computer you run it on. The only difference is how big it looks cus of the users screen resolution. besides that it should stay the same.
