From: Bill on 28 Mar 2010 08:00 I am attempting to run Access 2003 with XP on a desktop and Windows 7 on my laptop (the database is on a portable external drive and the same version of Access 2003 on both computers. The forms were created on the XP equipped desktop and contain among other items, labels and image boxes. All works according to plan on the XP Desktop. My problem is that on the Windows 7 laptop, the labels are too large in relation to form layout and to the specified font sizes of text boxes. More importantly images are being displayed at approx 50% of their real size (in relation to the form and also in relation to display using Windows Photo Viewer - the image boxes were sized around the standardized size images - ie:- the image boxes are the correct size). So, the labels are too large and the images are too small! Obviously I don't wish to maintain two sets (10s of thousands) of different sized images - is there a solution to this one?
From: Sylvain Lafontaine on 28 Mar 2010 14:38 Check the DPI (Dot Per Inch setting) of your display to see if they are different. Because of various DPI between different machines; any attempt to make a close relationship between the size of images and of the font size and text boxes is usually very difficult. -- Sylvain Lafontaine, ing.

From: Bill on 28 Mar 2010 21:43 Thanks Sylvain, Both displays are set at 96 dpi. I would also stress that Access and Windows Photo Viewer are displaying different sizes for the same image on the laptop (ie:- shrunken in Access relative to WPV and the Access image box dimensions), but the same size on the desktop. So it definitely seems to be some interaction between Access 2003 and Windows 7 rather than being a general problem with the laptop's display.
