Remarks
This property is only available in Visual Basic within a Microsoft Access database (.mdb)
You can set this property by selecting the font size from the Font Size box on the Formatting (Datasheet)
toolbar.
You can also set this property with the Size boxes in the Font dialog box, available by clicking Font on the Format menu in Datasheet view.
For the DatasheetFontHeight property, the font size you specify must be valid for the font specified by the DatasheetFontName property. For example, MS Sans Serif is available only in sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, and 24 points.

The following table contains the properties that don't exist in the DAO Properties collection of until you set them by using the Formatting (Datasheet) toolbar or you can add them in an Access database (.mdb) by using the CreateProperty method and append it to the DAO Properties collection.
Note When you add or set any property listed with an asterisk, Microsoft Access automatically adds all the properties listed with an asterisk to the Properties collection of the database.
Example
The following example sets the font to MS Serif, the font size to 10 points, and the font weight to medium (500) in Datasheet view of the Products table.
To set these properties, the example uses the SetTableProperty procedure, which is shown in the DatasheetFontItalic, DatasheetFontUnderline properties example.
Dim dbs As Object, objProducts As Object
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Const DB_Text As Long = 10
Const DB_Integer As Long = 3
Set objProducts = dbs!Products
SetTableProperty objProducts, "DatasheetFontName", DB_Text, "MS Serif"
SetTableProperty objProducts, "DatasheetFontHeight", DB_Integer, 10
SetTableProperty objProducts, "DatasheetFontWeight", DB_Integer, 500
The next example makes the same changes as the preceding example in Datasheet view of the open Products form.
Forms!Products.DatasheetFontName = "MS Serif"
Forms!Products.DatasheetFontHeight = 10
Forms!Products.DatasheetFontWeight = 500
