This question has been raised a number of times at TheScripts. There are plenty of techniques you can use to adjust your display depending on the resolution, and there is a class of controls generally referred to as an "elastic" control which will do a lot of thw rok for you. Try a search on combinations of "VB", "CONTROL" and "ELASTIC" and see what you come up with.

And how to load a form in VB in its Maximize position?

Well, if you're talking about VB6, just set the forms WindowState property to "2 - Maximized" at design time.

Ok
I you want to see your form on the whole monitor and don't want to use startmenu then use splash screens and set windowstate maximum
then your app will be on whole monitor.

You can check the following at startup and make the required adjustments accordingly

[CODE=vb]X = Screen.Width / Screen.TwipsPer PixelX
Y = Screen.Height / Screen.TwipsPer PixelY[/CODE]

You can check the following at startup ...

And that gives you what, the width and height of the screen in pixels?
