Access Database Cloud form siz

I started using Access Database Cloud and got my application (in runtime) working well on my large screen desktop but when opened on various laptops the bottom portion of the forms were cut off and thus, their exit buttons were hidden. My application has a main form calling five different forms, some with subforms. Will I have to re-format every one to fit the smallest anticipated user screen or is ther a coding fix?

Resize Forms Try this and see!

Thanks, I saw that but it doesn't really help. I still would have to tailor the forms to each user's device and would not always know in adavance what they were going to use. The videos for Access Database Cloud said that you could open your database on any device but never mentioned that it would have to be formatted for each.

You need to design your user interface for the users with the lowest screen resolution. This is true whether Access Database Cloud is involved or not, and it is true for designing any application. In my old job, the lowest resolution I designed for was about 1024x768. Users who used resolutions way higher than that would need to adjust display scaling in Windows settings.

Thanks Kevin, That's very helpful. I had always worked in an all desktop environment so it never occurred to me. Dean
