.NET Portability Issue ( form control location / size )

I'm having problems with a windows form application that I am developing using C#.Net 2003. My application's layout gets altered when I transfer projects between the following two machines.

Machine # 1:
1) Dell Inspiring M1710 Laptop (Windows XP SP 2)

Machine # 2:
2) Praetorian Desktop (Windows XP SP 2)

Visual Studio's form designer displays different control location and size values depending on what machine the project resides on. For example, on machine number one, I change the size of the form to 1024 by 768. Then I copy the project onto machine number two and open up Visual Studio...and BAM!! The form designer automatically alters the size of the form to 854 by 664.

This problem occurs outside of Visual Studio...on the executable level. This scares me as my client has different kinds of computers.

In addtion, this problem is resolution independant because both machines are running at the same resolution.
