The Approach databases we use on our network were developed around the fact that at the time we all used 15 inch monitors. Over the years some of these have been replaced so that now we have a mixture of 15, 17, and 19 inch. The larger monitors show more information in worksheet views but the form views we use are no bigger. We've experimented with different screen resolutions but to move away from a monitor's native resolution results in increased blurring.
Is there any way in Approach itself of changing the form view and making it bigger without a total redesign? One thought I'd had was to rename the APR file and resize everything using a larger monitor. Then those with say a 19" monitor would open "database x 19".apr and those with a 17" monitor would open "database x 17".apr. However it would take an eternity to place and resize everything 'just so' - so anyone have any ideas? Thank you.
