how to compensate app (vb2005 - .net 2.0) for screen resolution?

Hello,

I developed an application for a user who uses a screen resolution of
800x600. My screen resolution is 1680x1050. In haste, I shrunk all the
fonts to 6.75 so that the app (vb2005) would not appear too large on the
users monitor. But the app is very small on my monitor. I also created an
application in an Access ADP on my workstation for the same user. When the
user opens the app on her workstation/monitor, the app does not appear overly
large if I don't shrink it down on my workstation. Is there a setting in
..Net 2.0 to compensate for screen resolutions?

Thanks,
Rich

I don't think there's a single setting or so... But you can use .Net
alignment and docking settings, additionally the layout panels might help.

But I do think there's a .Net resize control, or even an activeX resize
control that might solve your problem.

Look it up on Google.

Regards
