Is it possible to access a remote registry using WMI's StdRegProv namespace using C#? If so could someone direct me to some examples? It seems it can be done using C++ and VBScript but I've yet to find some examples in C#. Thanks in advance! Parrish

Heath, I appreciate your insight and expertise but your talking to someone who only has a very basic understanding of this type of development environment. Please forgive my ignorance. To be honest I'm not completely sure I understand how to use it. Whenever the screen size is changed do I run all my Text boxes and labels through the scaling functions to reposition them? I did incorporated this class into my code. I instantiate a Display object when I bring up my application and the Update service is called when I change the screen dimensions. I did have to make a few changes to get it to work (as I'm sure you expected). I had to add the following at the appropriate places...are they ok? static int logsPerPixelX,logsPerPixelY; IntPtr eightyEight = new IntPtr(88); IntPtr ninety = new IntPtr(90); value = GetDeviceCaps(hdc, eightyEight); // LOGPIXELSX logsPerPixelX = 1440 / value.ToInt32(); value = GetDeviceCaps(hdc, ninety); // LOGPIXELSY logsPerPixelY = 1440 / value.ToInt32(); ReleaseDC(IntPtr.Zero, hdc); Because I'm not real sure how to use it, I don't understand why the logsPerPixelX and logsPerPixelY are setup but never used and why twipsPerPixelX and twipsPerPixelY are never setup? I also don't understand why it is only one tab page out of 7 that has this problem? I have numerous other Forms that display properly. If you could just grit your teeth and drop kick me into the right areas I would be most appreciative. If it jams, force it!! Parrish Pope

Thank you very much. I read up on it. Parrish

It's running on a Windows 2000 professional network. No XP involved at all. Thank you for your quick reply. Parrish

First off I'm new to this development platform so I don't know some of the most obvious fixes for known problems. Anyway, I've developed an application in C# that creates/accesses text files and utilizes the Microsoft Access database. My application runs fine on XP but fails with file access permission failures on Windows 2000 professional (the only other platform I've had access to to try). The .Net framework 1.1 is loaded on the machine and the application comes up with no problems. Only when I try to access a file I start having problems. Is there someting obvious I'm missing? Something particular to Windows 2000 I need to understand? I can't be the only one who has had this problem....can I? Any help/insight would be appreciated. Parrish
