Change user screen resolution automatically.
Is there a VBA way to change the users monitor resolution in an unpon open event proceedure?
I have developed an application in MS Access. It resides on a shared network drive. It appears that upon boot users monitor resolution by default is set to 1024x768. I discovered this after changing the resolution on my monitor to 1152x864 then re-booting. IThe application that I developed is best viewed using a resolution of 1152 x 864. Can anyone help provide insite as to why this happens and aid in developing a bit of code that will change the monitor resolution upon application startup?

I agree, leave my screen alone.
However, the function at http://bytes.com/forum/thread210047.html works well.

Don't do that. Users and supporters will kill you. Only amateurs and malware mingle with screen settings.
Besides that, your app and the user may not have been granted the rights to change the display settings. In those (corporate) cases, your app will fail.
