ShrinkerStretcher

ShrinkerStretcher Add-On for Microsoft Access

ShrinkerStretcher is a module for Microsoft® Access® that allows you to scale your forms, fonts and controls to fit any form window size or screen resolution. Now there's no longer a need to have different versions of the same form for each monitor display setting. Just use ShrinkerStretcher to scale one form to fit all screen sizes.

Now supports Access 2013 32 and 64-bit!

With ShrinkerStretcher you can:

  • Save time and money by maintaining one version of your forms for all end user screen resolutions
  • Scale forms to larger or smaller sizes dynamically at each form OnResize event
  • Center controls of maximized forms on the screen
  • Accurately scale subforms, tab controls, option groups, datasheets, charts and more
  • Automatically scale and position forms so they look the same at each screen resolution
  • Optionally scale forms at application startup only
  • Optionally scale and save forms at the new size
  • Open your forms with one function call that does all the scaling work

ShrinkerStretcher consists entirely of VBA code so it is easy to distribute with your Access application.

Supports Access 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2010, and 2013
