Is there any way to centralize a forms & controls on your maximized application in ms access 2010?

Hi:
You know the vary of the monitors now a days , so when you distribute your ms access application to several customers, some of them will fit, and the others it won't fit. because of two factors  actually:
1-      The screen resolution.
2-      The screen size 15", 17", 19", 20" wide … etc.
Is there any new solution for this old matter or any tricky way or design to go around it?
help me please.
In the second attached pics there is my old tricky way to centralize forms, but some customers need maximized forms with centralized controls. is there any way to do such thing?

In Access 2007 and 2010 you can use new "Anchoring" method:

I had download the trial , I had test it and I found that it is wonderful . but when I try to use it in my apps. I found out  something strange to me
My path after I install the trial is "C:\Program Files\Peters Software\ShrinkerStretcher v11 Trial"
It asks me to refer to "C:\Program Files\Peters Software\ShrinkerStretcher\ss2010_110.accde"
You can see the attached pic.
1-      The path is different!
2-      There is no such ss2010_110.accde!
3-      Is it possible to refer to .accde in references?
4-      When search it I find the target is in   "C:\ProgramData\Peters Software\ShrinkerStretcher\ss2010_110.accde", so maybe it is hidden file? Cause I can't find " ProgramData" in "C:\" . I show it and try to refer to it in references wizard but an err. msg. tills that it is a bad file type to refer to.
How can I try the trial version in my apps. Please?

thanks to all of you
"3-      Is it possible to refer to .accde in references?"

Yes. It should be just a matter of location the ACCDE on your system. And the trial works just like the full version, but with nag prompts here and there.

It should not be a hidden file.  Are you not able to find the File?

thanks a lot
i'll copy it to another location and try to refer to it.
Good idea ... it's doesn't matter where it is.  I would suggest in the same folder as your app ... that way Access should easily find it - especially in a production enviroment, although in that case, you should really import the code into your app - once you get the paid version.
