XCLN: Suggestions for Configuring OWA for 640 X 480 Resolutions (234032)

SUMMARY

Exchange Outlook Web Access (OWA) is optimized to run best using browsers with screen resolutions of 800 X 600 or higher. You can view OWA using a smaller screen resolution and still see the entire screen using scroll bars. However, by making some modifications to variables within the scripts used for OWA, you may more easily use OWA on a 640 X 480 screen resolution.

Be sure to replicate ANY changes to each language pack you have installed, and in the case of files like Title.asp and Main_fr.asp, replicate the change to the Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, and Public Folder files as well.

Title.asp: Change the location of the form field viewSelect to the same cell as bstrFolderName. If needed, reduce the font size of bstrFolderName.
