unless it's mission critical, I'd avoid it.. just from watching pdox on all 
the different monitors over the past few years, there's no telling in 
advance how the resize will apply to any given monitor

Has anyone ever attempted to write a procedure that automatically checks
screen resolution and then resizes a form and all it's components and
tableframes and fields based on the resolution?

The customer had all 1280x720 monitors and has now thrown a few1920 x
1080 into the mix and has asked if the "system" could automatically
adjust the size of the forms to suit.

I've started on this attached form (as you can see, quite complex, the
top buttons are graphics within boxes within boxes with a label). I'm
completely lost. As a lot of my forms are "multi functional" like this,
where a lot can happen from one place. should I just tell the customer
it can't be done and to wait for my C# rewrite? Or is there someone out
there that's done this before?
