When programming an application for distribution using
VBA, what is the best way to program the GUI for a
consistent look & feel, regardless of the target
computer's screen size or resolution?

There are several solutions to this, including that in the "Access (insert
version) Developer's Handbook" (see http://www.developershandbook.com/). A free
downloadable add-in is available at that site, as well, at
http://www.developershandbook.com/downloads.htm (scroll down to "Recommended
Downloads:").

You can also consider commercial solutions from:

... and others.
