    snap to grid

    Hello Chaps--I am new to this forum and look forward to "meeting" everyone.


    I am new to access but have had a lot of experience with DOS programs like dbase 4,2
    Also use excel and cad ( Inventor) quite a lot

    My question
    I am using access 2007 and access 2016
    to set up a form that looks nice - is it possible to change the grid size?

    And secondly- can the buttons etc be made to snap to grid?

    Thirdly can the grid be changes to dots instead of lines

    Many thanks

    fred

    See this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8jq2H3aamk - you need to use US form on measurement (indexes)
    And secondly- can the buttons etc be made to snap to grid?
    yes - select control(s), on arrange tab, select align>to grid

    Thirdly can the grid be changes to dots instead of lines
    see link to first question
