>>Is there a way to have a form take up the entire screen no matter which machine runs it? I've run an app on a machine with a 17" monitor and it looks totally different, only taking up only partial sctreen. Even some machine with the same screen as mine, the same happens.

I prefer to design all my forms using 640x480 limits (actually, slightly smaller than than to allow for menu and status bar) and then hard set the _screen.Width = 640 and _screen.Height = 415 prior to initializing my oApp. That way, I won't exceed someone's resolution and everything remains pretty much similar.

I know it sounds like a kludge, but it works well and the users are comformatble with it.
