Windows Font Size

I have found from experience and from posts to the group that a change
to the Windows font size under Display Properties often trashes the
appearance of forms in Access. Is there a way to programmatically
check if the Windows font size had been changed by the user to
something other than standard ie. 96 DPI. It would then be possible to
display a message to the user when the database is opened detailing the
possible adverse effects of using a non-standard font size.

Any help appreciated.

See whether what Randy Birch has at
