Change the distance between dots on a grid

You can change the distance between the dots in the grid for a form, report, or data access page.

1. Open a form, report, or data access page in Design view.
2. Display the property sheet by doing one of the following:

   For a form or report, double-click the form selector or the report selector.

   For a data access page, click Select Page on the Edit menu.

3. Change the distance between the dots by doing one or both of the following:

   For the horizontal dots, type a new value for the GridX property. Higher numbers indicate less distance between dots.

   For the vertical dots, type a new value for the GridY property.

Note  The grid is preset to 24 dots per inch horizontally and 24 dots per inch vertically. If you're using centimeters as your unit of measure, the grid is set to 10 x 10. You can change these settings to any integer value from 1 to 64. Dots on the grid are invisible if you choose a setting that is greater than 24 dots per inch or 9 dots per centimeter.
