>>I have found the best approach is to create a screen that fits in the lowest common denominator: the 640x480 desktop. You can then use it on screens with higher resolutions.

>It is important to note one thing though, if you set the maximum design area to 640x480 in the tools-options Form page. The white area that you see in the form designer is the entire screen at 640. You have to allow for the title bar, system menu, status bar, and any toolbars that you may have on screen. So you can't really use the entire white area for your forms.
Not only do you need to consider the VFP - based objects like menu, status bar, etc, but with the GUI of '95 and NT4 -- check for the position / size of the system taskbar. Let's face it, R.A.D. would work a whole lot better if everyone configured their systems identically -- which I cannot realistically contemplate.
