There are code utilitities that do this but they are imperfect and they are much
better at making forms larger than the original than they are at making them
smaller.
What most developers do is design to a minimum resolution specification. For
most that is 800 by 600 although many are moving up to 1024 by 768 as larger
displays become more common.
