>>I would like to find a simple way of changing how forms appear, depending on the way the user has set their windows font size, without having to create 2 or 3 versions of every form.
>>To dynamically change the classes on the form, I would need to change the height, width and font size of every class (labels, textboxes, etc) to keep everything consistent. Why can you not just change the form's font, so that it alters the form (the way changing the windows resolution does)?
>>Any help would be greatly appreciated.

>The next question is RetrieveFontAttributes. It could be a common UDF or BaseForm method, for example. You have to find a way of retrieving font attributes. Take a look into FAQ section Getting Title Bar Attributes, it may help you.
