>>>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 also develop for 640x400 display. However, I prefer to have full _screen to allow smooth project enhancement by adding form resizing (maximizing) ability.
