Hi Larry -

You want to make them larger by default? Or just resizing them?

What windows specifically? You can't make them larger by default, but they should have the same resizing functionality as previous versions.

Larry,

In answer to your question, users can employ the typical means of resizing windows in Dynamics GP. They can click on a corner and expand or contract the window. Windows can be minimized and maximized using typical windows icons in the top right corner of the window. That being said. the results of resizing Dynamics GP windows depends largely on the window design. I have a list of 10 things I hate about GP... Check out Number 5. http://redbeardblogging.blogspot.com/2014/09/10-things-i-hate-about-dynamics-gp.html

Hi Larry,

I don't believe there is a way to accomplish what you are looking for. This has been a complaint since the release of GP 2013.

Here are some links to threads about this issue.

I absolutely just Figured out how to fix this on 4/15/2015 on a windows 8.1 machine

you have to right click on the GP icon

mark it run in compatibility mode - set it to run in window 7 mode -

select run in 640X480

Disable display scaling on High DPI Settings - and that fixed it on Windows 8.1

Special Note: After you set that - you may see a window asking if the compatibility program installed correctly - I saw that window when I logged out of GP - just click yes... and your all done

You can do this in windows 7. Just right click on GP icon

go to properties

Click on Compatibility and check Run in 640 x 480

Click Ok

If you have two monitors only one will enlarge, so you can pull the window you want larger to that screen. The other screen is normal.
