Make desktop application support the minimum resolution

Windows UX Checklist states that a desktop application should:

  • Support the minimum Windows effective resolution of 800x600 pixels. For critical user interfaces (UIs) that must work in safe mode, support an effective resolution of 640x480 pixels.

I was looking some layouts that suit my project and I came across this one:

Database Layout

and I was wondering, how could you make this type of layout UX Friendly for a 800x600 pixels user screen. I am mostly worried about having space for the grid and the detail view in the same page.

Are there any methods to make this kind of layout friendly for low resolution screens?

Thanks.
