As for VFP not allowing large form design, check Tools - Options - Forms and change the Maximum design area drop down.
If you want to make the form dynamic, look at teh SYSMETRIC() function and passing in 1 as a parameter. You could do this in the Init of the form and dynamically change the form width.
