jfreestern Posted March 30, 2001 Posted March 30, 2001 In helping a client with some computer problems, I needed to delete preferences for FM 3.05. Now the screen view of form page is smaller than previously. as i am not well versed in FM, I'm not sure how to get the full view back. According to the book there should be a selection under preferences for view, but when i open preferences, that schoice is no where to be found. I know that you can increase the view size from 100% to 150%, but 150% is too big and 100% does seem a bit small (it only fills about 3/4 of an imac screen). Any help is appreciated. Jeff
Vaughan Posted April 2, 2001 Posted April 2, 2001 It sounds like you are helping somebody transfer a system from an old machine onto an iMac, which has a higher resolution screen (800x600). The "screen" size of the FMP database is fixed by the design of the layout. The only way to make it bigger is to re-design it. There is no "automatic" resize function. We wish there was. Versions of FMP before 3.0v6 are *not* Y2K compliant. Get the 3.0v6 patch from http://www.filemaker.com asap.
jfreestern Posted April 2, 2001 Author Posted April 2, 2001 No, the program and database were already on their imac. There definitely seemed to be a slight reduction in the image size after I trashed FM's preferences, although now that I think of it I also had to zap the system's PRAM, so maybe the overall system resolution got changed. I'll have to check that. By the way, the most current version for Mac that I see is 3.05. You and someone on a different post keep mentioning 3.06. Am I looking in the wrong place?? Jeff
LiveOak Posted April 2, 2001 Posted April 2, 2001 I'm not sure what resolutions the iMac defaults to after zapping the PRAM, but it is capable of 1024 x 768. If you were at 832 x 624 and defaulted to 1024 x 768, the screen would look small. I'd check the screen resolution setting. -bd
