	I'm not sure what you mean by "the panel". Are you printing, or is this something you are seeing on screen?

	sorry.....if I go File/Open Application, the application itself is tiny. A form that would fill a whole screen in QA is practically unreadable. I can send you a screenshot if you like. Joe

	having spent countless hours revising Q&A forms I can actually answer this question Start by going into position under the property editor: highlight all your fields and hit more for vertical spacing a few times then adjust your height and widths... I use 30 for height with 1024x768 screen res it seems to work best for the older employees with poor eyesight after that you need to go into the text tab under editor and adjust your text size for the label and the text I use 26 for label and 22 for text... works fine for me hope I actually helped

	OOPS 1 thing first when in designer, before you highlight anything adjust your height and width I use 500 width and 600 height, these will adjust the page you have to work with on the editor itself, if you forget to do this your elements tend to bunch up at the bottom of the page or the right side margin

	i can get many elements of the page larger using your advice..( fonts, boxes etc...)however, there is a border around all of these that i cannot edit, causing the rest of the page to 'pile up'. i can send you a screenshot. thanks.

	sure send it to Parts@nicnd.com and I'll look at it... I have about 65 more databases to work with myself so it might be something I run across myself
