Re: Access Report Grid Alignment...

Currently, I am using both Access 2000 AND 2007 on two different
machines... I have had this problem ever since I can remember...
graphic cards don't make a difference...

Where do u get 24X24? Anything above 9X9 will not show any dots at
all, just the big squares... plus, both version start with a 10X10
default grid...

Please try this:

new form, design mode, click properties on the gray section of the
form, locate X grid and Y grid, change to 9X9, dots appear...

Now, create a label of 5X20 dots (any size will work). It will be
aligned with the dots covering them where required. Simply drag the
label around and u'll see that at least one size of the label will not
be "on the dots", but rather "close" to them...

Unfortunately, when u have many fields, it will show the disalignment
on screen and on print...

Thanks, Lupo

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...

FWIW I always use a 24x24 grid as that appears to be a newer default of Access.
