If some users have a smaller resolution than 1024 (say 800), you have two choices.
1. Design your application to fit 800 and use the resize event and anchors to be able to reposition the controls for a higher resolution.
2. Get the boss to buy a new monitors for the users that have a smaller resolution.

But the best pratice is, if the new monitor is not an option, is to design for the low resolution and use resize and anchors for the higher resolutions. In your case you are trying to do it in reverse, which means there is no more room for your controls to fit if you go from 1024 to 800.

>Hi, I run a form in a win XP pc and it displays nicely on the screen. The PC is having 1024 X 768 resoultion. But when the same form runs on win 98 PC with a different resolution, the display looks very strange. How can I make the form displays nicely in screen with a different resolution when it is launched.
