Forcing a video mode

Is it possible to force a video mode ( eg 640x480 x 16 color)  from a Delphi program, rather than having to deal with various resolutions?
If so, how is it done.  

I'm just beginning in Delphi!

Thank you

Yep, I agree with Mike, your customers will definitely not like it, when you change the video mode - except you're running in fullscreen, like a game... But then you should use DirectX, there are functions available to switch to a different mode in DirectX full screen mode. And DirectX automatically restores the old resolution when the fullscreen mode is ended.

Thank you for your advice, noted, and will read up on it!
Glad to be of service :)
