Frank,
thanks for downloading my database. according to my developer's
handbook there is a way to code the form view to automatically size
itself to the enduser's screen resolution regadless of the
programmers settings. it will scale the form and font accordingly. i
have not implented this feature yet but will add it to my list. i do
realize not everybody likes 1024x768.

keep the feedback coming. i am getting some great suggestions.
anybody have a MAC PC i can borrow?
