Your app config file shows the SystemType is "1 or 2".
Your test compares SystemType with "1".

1 is not the same as "1 or 2".

Therefore your test will fail, and you will not change the size of the screen.

Try changing it a bit:

XML

<add key="SystemType" value="Type1" />

VB

Private Sub EmplTimeCard_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
            If SystemType = "Type1" Then
                'ScreenResolution()
                Me.Size = New Size(700, 500)
            End If

End Sub

You should be able to work it out from there...:laugh:
