Screen Resolution

I have written a few custom apps in 1024 x 768 resolution which are now being transferred to laptops and older desktops supporting only 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 resolution. My question, Is there a conversion code module for Access ver. 2 that recognizes screen resolution and converts apps to the proper settings for various resolutions.Also does a newer version of Access address this problem, if so I will upgrade. Any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

spiridinov: If you have access to the resize functions please post them as comments as this would make this answer complete. Not everyone reading this answer can get hold of the book or magazine mentioned.
If i had them, i would for sure have posted them.

I have already been to the knowlege Base and have obtained the determining current screen resolution code.I have heard of this book but I am not able to locate a copy. Also I have intecepted E-Mail noting that the resize code module does exist and is out there somewhere in some experts module library. Anyone know where I can obtain a copy? And does a newer version of Access address this problem?
Pleae submit my question again to other experts after posting my comment.
Thanks again

An Access97 database is now available on cd-rom, from the book: Access97 Developer's
Handbook third edition. page 474. The  access97 database is on the cd-rom with the book. "chap 08".
1. Make sure your fonts are scalable. (true type)
2. Put the modules from the cd-rom on all your forms "Open Event"
3. There are two:      basFormScale   and   bas FormGlobal.
Its a great book.
Hope this helps!
