Set the section indent for a data access page

When you set the left indent for a section in a data access page, Microsoft Access automatically sets the left indent of the other sections in the same group level.

1. Open a data access page in Design view.
2. Double-click the section bar of a section in the group for which you want to specify the left indent.
3. Set the MarginLeft property to what you want.

Notes

• The default section indent for new data access pages is .25 inches (or .635 cm). To change the default setting, click Options under the Tools menu, click the Pages tab, and type a value in the SectionIndent box.
• Setting the MarginLeft property of a section overrides the SectionIndent setting. When you add or remove a group level, Access uses the default section indent setting to format the sections of all group levels on the page, except those for which you explicitly set the MarginLeft property.
• By default, the left indent of sections in ungrouped and unbound data access pages is set to 0.
