>>I am currently using VFP 3.0b. To the best of my knowledge VFP cannot detect the screen size being used by a user (800 X 600, etc...). Can VFP 5 handle this? Can anyone share experiences with me about how to detect what size is being used? Thanks for any feedback.

Jim,
following your reply, I also took a look to fontmetric() function and scalemode property. My concern is to design a form to show properly if ever a user uses Large font setting which I don't at design time. So that content of text fields won't be troncated.
Is it possible to have controls positionned and sized automatically depending on display settings by setting scalemode of the form to "foxels"?
Or is it better just to give extra room to controls at design time in order to fit both.
Thanks.
Claude
