OK, I found it. In the HTML file produced by Web Deploy, there is the
<OBJECT> tag, including WIDTH= and HEIGHT= directives. These are created
with the pixel sizes of the designed form, but it's possible to change
them to WIDTH=100% HEIGHT=100% and remove everything from the <BODY> but
the <OBJECT>. Coupled with <BODY LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0>, the form
will fill the window whatever its size. Now I just need to work out how
to make the contained controls adapt to the form size.

Thanks for all the responses! ;-/

Cheers
Tony
