[Quoted] [Quoted] What is the best way to develop forms that are to be viewed by clients that [Quoted] [Quoted] have a hodge-podge of terminal setups. What I mean is that some of my users have 14 inch monitors with a particular device driver while another user may have a 15" and the next a 17" and another a 19" with all different resolutions, small fonts vs. large fonts...etc.

I know I should develop with a coordinate system of REAL but I have exiting forms that were developed in Character which are called by all applications. The character forms blow off the screen as well as some of the REAL forms on some terminals. Some forms are small (developed on the lowest possible client terminal resolution) while others fit half the screen. Basically we developed for 800x600 resolution.

Is there any special thing I should do when calling a form that was generated with a coordinate system of Character from a form that was developed with a Real coordinate system? Oh yes, the forms all were generated from a template developed inhouse.

Thanks in advance..
