Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

      Well ....
      both machines are W7
      both machines have the same resolution
      there must be a setting - or - a Windows setting

      try this in the intractive window - is the HTML text a larger size than the radio button text?
      are the radio buttons and ok/cancel buttons perfectly centered in relation to the HTML text?

      'Create an XDialog dialog box to prompt for parameters.

      dim text1.object as p

      text1.class = "dhtmledit.dhtmledit"

        Re: HTML text size smaller on client's machine

        I dont know what size is bigger or smaller to you. Looks perfect to me.
        This is with Win8 with A5 v12 (where my form label text has grown oversized from previous on V10 on WinXP and v7)
        I also captured a bit of the editor text for text size comparison

        (It also just struck me, in my case, if it is a cause of a style used before that may not be in the new A5v10??)

          same W7, same resolution, etc.

              Re: HTML text size smaller on client's machine

              Well - IE was the culprit
              On the client machine, using V12, and IE11, I had to change the font sizes and other aspects of the screen, but at least I know the issue, now.
