I'll be honest, I cheated

I went straight to the Handbook and Database file. Heck why not. Gold Member, and my attention span isn't THAT LONG!!! Can you make those forms any smaller do a blind squirrel for sure can't see them? Kidding - I think.

Honestly very often I make my forms too big and then have to shrink it down to fit the laptop, or smaller than the laptop.....

You have to remember, back then your average monitor size was 14 or 15 inches, maybe 17 inches CRT if you're lucky, so when you made your forms, those little teeny tiny forms would take up half the screen because you only had 14 inches of space to work with. It's not like now where you've got 60-inch monitors, lol.

Low resolution too.

Laptop 1 is 16. Laptop 2 is 13.5 and Desktop monitor is 34 inches. I remember the days of smaller monitors and having to work with said limitations. Where I worked back then nobody had great eyes. And if the boss can't see it then the developer of that form is dead :D

Ha ha, imagine working with 80 columns by 24 rows of text on a dumb terminal and no popup on top ability. With a line text editor for a program file that you then had to compile for 45 minutes separately.
