>I program that I work with has made extensive use of SYSMETRIC(1),SYSMETRIC(2) to define the size of windows, and to re-size forms. This has worked flawlessly for many years on a variety of user computers with varying operating systems, 32 bit and 64 bit, and many different screen resolutions ... until the other day when a client acquired a new ACER wide screen laptop with native 1920 x 1080 screen resolution. Whenever this code is encourntered, the Error Message 46 “Expression evaluated to an illegal value” appears. If the user sets his resolution to 1600x900 it works, but not on 1920x1080 or on 1680x1050.

>I note on UT Thread 891242 a post which said "I think the coding solution in the thread directly below your post may solve your problem as well although the font dpi setting works as well. Look at Undocumented ERROR #46" However I could not see any coding in the post that was referred to.
