PRB: Grid Lines Not Visible in MS Access When Using Wizards
'Article ID: Q91713

Creation Date: 03-NOV-1992

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1

SYMPTOMS

The grid is not visible in Design view when you are using Form Wizards or Report Wizards.

CAUSE

Form Wizards and Report Wizards both use default GridX and GridY property values of 64. The grid is not visible when GridX and GridY settings of greater than 16 are used. The default GridX and GridY settings are in the visible range when you are not using the wizards.

RESOLUTION

You can make the grid visible by setting the form or report's GridX and GridY properties to 16 or less.

MORE INFORMATION

Grids are composed of dots that appear in a report or form's Design view. These dots help you position controls more precisely by letting you increase or decrease the fineness of the grid. The GridX and GridY property settings reflect the number of dots per unit of measurement. The unit of measurement is usually inches, but will vary with the settings in the Windows Control Panel. Allowable values for GridX and GridY properties are from 1 to 64.
