wei,

VFP9 offers some new anchor-properties helping to adapt to different
resolutions..

Before VFP9, you might take a look at some of the resizers at
www.universalthread.com (VFP-Zone -> Downloads) or the resize-class at
problib (ftp://ftp.prolib.de/public/VFP/)

The book 1001 things in VFP from Hentzenwerke has an exellent solution for
you. Just copy and paste the code you have to add your app and you don´t
have to worry. It automates the screenappearences irrespective of your
screenresolutions.

What do you mean with "best fit of window size"? Is it just larger letters if
there is more space on the screen or do you want to use this more space?

For the first thing, others showed you some way. But I think, that these are
some "quick and dirty" approaches. You can get in problems, when there are
pictures on your forms. And I don't know what happens, when the user used some
or all of the features she can adjust in the windows display settings:
large/small fonts, own sizes of menu bars, frames...

The second idea: using the more space, needs special considerations and a lot of
design work, but gives the user more efficiency.
