Re: Access Report Grid Alignment...

Dear Salad,

first of all, thank you for your quick reply. I have always had Snap
on, since Access 95. The problem is a little different: If u click on
the report/form property and change the "X Grid" and "Y Grid" from
10-10 to 9-9 or 8-8, you'll see a dotted grid that helps aligning the
different objects...

Gotcha. I alway have grid turned off.

Let's suppose that u have a label which is 10X3 dots, perfectly on the
dots. If you move the label somewhere else in the form/report, the
label will clearly show one or more sides not aligned with the dots
and u have to select the label, grab the side(s) and pull them away
and then back on the dots to realign them correctly...

What version are you using? I don't have a prob with A97.

Maybe it's the graphic adapter. I've had computers before where things are flaky and will work fine on one computer but not another.


Regards, Lupo

Hi again,

every I go into Design mode in a report and move something around, it
gets "disaligned" with respect to the underlying grid, either at 8X8
or 9X9 (don't know why at 10X10 you can't see tha grid, either...) and
I have to manually select every control, textbox, whatever and move
each of the sides up and down to "re-align" it correctly to the
grid...

Is it just me missing something or is it a normal behaviour?

Thank you in advance for any help u may provide...

Ciao, Lupo

I don't know what 8x8 or 9x9 is but then I'm looking at a grid in A97.

Is it possible you don't have the SnapToGrid selected under the Format
menu bar?- Hide quoted text -
