Elmer,

Thanks for your recommendation. Here is what I've done:

1) Found user at work with a big monitor, so all forms look small (VFP screen is maximized)

2) Called my colleague to find out, what the class, which is on our BaseForm as part of it, is just a leftover and doesn't do anything. (I then checked its code and found, what some code was lost)

3) Started a thread here and got several good advices, so now I'm like a "Buridan donkey"

4) Wrote an e-mail to all my colleagues about the problem and got response from the manager, that this is not a problem, we're going to solve right now (Well, I knew it, but wanted to get everyone's opinion anyway to proceed with the solution of this problem in a future release).

So, I have options for the future, but I'm not sure, when this time will come...

(Sorry, I do not know the download number) It allows the user to stretch or shrink my forms while automatically resizing everything in prorportion. It also has a a right click popup form that allows the user to adjust the resize properties or restore the original size. Once the user has resized a form, it retains the size and screen position the next time that the form is opened. I had to tweek the code to make it work exactly how I wanted it to work, but it does not seeem to have any problem resizing and spacing the resized controls on any form that I have used it on.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
