Not a solution--in fact, not even a guess...

Have you thought about replacing the commandbuttons from the control toolbox
toolbar with buttons from the Forms toolbar?

I've seen a few posts that say that the Forms controls are better behaved on
worksheets (than the controls from the control toolbox toolbar).

Thought I'd try it here (with some minor revisions).

I have a template with some buttons and if the user changes the screen resolution, opens
the template and hits the button the text in the button will change size. It will continue
to change each time the button is selected.
In other cases a right click on the button will cause the button itself to expand in size.
Bottom line is that it goes "wonky" depending on when the user changes the resolution and
opens the template.

We've never had the problem before because the resolution was never changed (800 x 600). A
new system requires us to flip it to 1024x768 when using the app (this is too small for us
"older" users which results in changing it, depending on the task at hand).

The question is;
Is there any way to "lock" the Command Buttons to ensure that both the caption and size
remain in proportion to
the current screen resolution?

This happens in both xl2k/w2k and xl03/xp.
