INF: Form Sizing Grid Accepts Non-Integer Values
'Article ID: Q91720

Creation Date: 03-NOV-1992

Revision Date: 30-NOV-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0, 97

SUMMARY

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

In a form or report's Design view, you can make the grid visible to help you align controls. The GridX and GridY properties accept non-integer values, but Microsoft Access rounds the newly entered number to the nearest integer.

MORE INFORMATION

With Microsoft Access 7.0 and 97, the grid is preset to 10 units per inch horizontally and 12 units per inch vertically. If you are using centimeters as your unit of measure, the grid is preset to 5 x 5. You can change these settings to any integer value from 1 to 64. Dots on the grid are invisible if the fineness is greater than 16 units per inch or 6 units per centimeter.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 Open a report or form in Design view. On the View menu, click Properties. On the Edit menu, click Select Report (or Select Form). To change the horizontal units, type a new value for the GridX property. To change the vertical units, type a new value for the GridY property. Higher numbers indicate greater fineness. For example: Change the GridX property to 27.89. Upon exiting the field, the value you entered is rounded to the nearest integer. In this example, Microsoft Access rounds the GridX to 28.
