access thread: Screen Resolution

I'm designing all my forms so that they fit the screen in 800 x 600 screen
resolution. A lot of the users have higher resolutions than this. Is there
anyway of finding out what screen resolution the user has when they open
the database and either warn them about the screen resolution or display a
form that better fits there screen.
I know there are products that you can buy to accoplish this, but I would
like, if possible to do it myself.
Thanks
Paul

You'll also find a form scaler/resizer utility for A2K at:

--very cool stuff, IMHO.
