DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ShrinkerStretcher is an MS Access module that will dynamically (or statically) rescale your MS Access forms, fonts, and controls to fit any screen resolution, desktop scheme, font setting, or form window size. Using ShrinkerStretcher means you can develop applications without concern for your end user's display settings! Scale your 800x600 application up to 1024x768, or to any other resolution.

This version is distributed as shareware.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW AND SPECIAL IN THIS RELEASE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Speed of scaling tab controls improved
* More exact tab control sizing, especially on tab controls near form borders
* Uses speedier application echo for freezing the screen most of the time instead of slower LockWindowUpdate API call
* "conRetainSubformProportion" constant has changed meaning. When set to true it will retain subform aspect ratio
* "conScaleSubformWidthToFit" constant allows subform width to be scaled to fit width of subform control
* New form tag "SSSkipAutoPosition" allows skipping of resolution adjustment window positioning
* Miscellaneous bug fixes

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, GETTING STARTED TIPS, AND DOCUMENTATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
**************
*** Step 1 ***
**************
If you've received a zip file archive ("ss2000_91.zip" or "ss2000d_91.zip"), double-click on the zip file to open it, then double-click on the .exe file ("ss2000s_91.exe" or "ss2000ds_91.exe") and follow the instructions on the screen to install ShrinkerStretcher on your computer.

If you've received a self-extracting .exe file ("ss2000s_91.exe" or "ss2000ds_91.exe"), double-click the .exe file and follow the instructions on the screen to install ShrinkerStretcher on your computer.

(To run the demo, double-click the "ss2000d_91.mde" file in the folder you installed to, or select "ShrinkerStretcher vX demo for Access 2000" from the start menu.)

**************
*** Step 2 ***
**************
To use ShrinkerStretcher with your Access application:

Add a reference from your database to "ss2000_91.mdb" (or "ss2000d_91.mde"). Or, If you have registered ShrinkerStretcher, you can instead import the "basShrinkerStretcher" module and the "clsSinkSSFormEvents" class module directly into your application.

If you import these modules into your application, you will also need to make sure that your application references the following libraries:

Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library
Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.x for DDL and Security

See the help file for more information on how to add a reference.

**************
*** Step 3 ***
**************
Open your forms with the supplied function "SS_OpenForm" instead of "DoCmd.OpenForm".

Example:

'DoCmd.OpenForm "MyFormName"	<== old way
SS_OpenForm "MyFormName"

See the help file for more information about the "SS_OpenForm" function.
