Trouble Seeing Access Displays on My Screen

Probably pretty obvious but I am having trouble seeing Access stuff on my laptop screen (Windows 11, Access 365). It is too small for my old eyes. When Richard shows his work, it is very clear.

How do I increase the size of the image on my screen? The usual ctrl-left mouse button technique seems to not work with Access.
Thanks, Ken Bannister

Hi Kenneth, I don't know what size monitor you have but each monitor (screen) has a setting for resolution. That may help. Hold Control and roll the mouse ball may temporarily change the image size. I have a 16" laptop and am like you - I may need to but a larger screen size.  HTH John

Mr Davy: 16" laptop here, too. I looked around and found an overall screen scaling feature (right-clicking on the main display) and reset scaling to 250% and that solved the problem. Thanks for the lead!

I have viewed up through Expert #15 of Richard's lectures and thought it was high time to start getting hands-on experience. I am using his Blank Template example to do this. Amazing how easy he makes it all look!!
V/R, Ken B.

He is great! He makes it look easy and as you go on it will also get easier for you. Keep up the good work. Maybe we will both get larger monitor some day soon! John

Mr Davy: Regret to say my 250% scale-up had an unintended consequence. The ability to place and size a form, save it, and have it reappear in the same location and at same size when reopened was done away with. When I reduced to 150% scale-up, the ability was regained. I guess there is some subtle interaction between ACCESS and the machine settings. I tried changing the form auto-resize and -centering controls, but that just added more uncertainty.

If you have a video output on your laptop, you might consider connecting it to a TV for a larger image.
