Hi Guys,
VB8 (2005 version) uses pixels to lay out screens. VB6 does the same thing,
but there are 15 units to a pixel.
According to Bill Dennis, the only way to consistently get things the same
size on the screen is to detect what the screen resolution is and reassign
all of the co-ordinates dynamically at run time.
This is fairly complicated, but it can be done in VB6.
Sorry, I have never done it myself and can not provide details.
Regards,
Jim

hmmm, I had code for that here at one time, I'll take a run through my code
in a bit here and see if I can find it, and no teddy, VB 6 doesn't, that's
something that we got in the upgrade to VB.net.
or at least I have seen nothing about them in VB 6, if there their,
Microsoft put them into a corner, so there out of the normal notice, as they
have done a few times.
