Steve,
In my opinion as a very long time user of a great many different
programs, I believe handling it as you have with a ReadMe
instruction, is probably the best method. I have encountered a few
programs that automatically make the change "for me", and I've always
hated it. I prefer to be in control - ALWAYS - since there can be
other things affected by a change in resolution beyond what the
programmer may have taken into consideration. Remember, just because
your program is opened, that doesn't mean the user will stay there
until they close it.
Another approach would be to check the resolution on startup and
provide a dialog informing the user to make the change. At this point
the dialog could allow to stop the program and do the change
themselves, or to continue and have the resolution changed for them.
This would be acceptable. Of course, if the resolution IS the desired
one, no dialog would appear in the first place.

Sorry if I may have missed this topic in a previous forum. I'd
appreciate
any help on the following question: The standalones that I am
creating require
a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher to properly fit on the
screen.
Since some people may have their monitors set to a lower
resolution, I've been
including a "ReadMeFirst" file explaining the need for them to
reset their
monitors to the higher resolution. Is there a way within
Revolution to
automatically set the resolution to 1024x768 (and then convert it
back to the original
resolution when the standalone closes)?
I've been finding Revolution enormously helpful in preparing
programs in
medical education. At this time all the CDs in my company
(MedMaster) are in
Revolution. There are a few free downloads on the MedMaster web
site if anyone
is interested. Thanks very much.
