Is it possible to have a VFP application set the screen resolution to a
specific setting at startup and upon exit reset to original setting?

Since windows applications can be run at any time, it's a real strong
suggestion that your application NOT change the resolution to anything
specific. Better that your application check the current resolution and
suggest the change, rather than make the change itself. Changing the
resolution could result in damage to your hardware, especially if you were
to change to a resolution not supported by the hardware.

Take a look at the SYSMETRIC function:
IF SYSMETRIC(1) < 1024 && Sreen width
messagebox("This application is best run at 1024 x 768")
ENDIF
IF SYSMETRIC(1) < 1024 && Sreen width
messagebox("This application is best run at 1024 x 768")
ENDIF
SYSMETRIC(1) = screen width
SYSMETRIC(2) = screen height
