    Subform gridlines

    This may be a silly question, but I am trying to create gridlines for a subform of mine that is displayed as a datasheet.



    This is what my subform currently looks like:

    But I want it to look like this:

    Click image for larger version.

    As you can see, the subform in the picture below has these gridlines where all cells have borders. How can I recreate those borders?
    I cannot find anything in the properties of my subform that helps me here.

    Anyone has an idea?

    Either use datasheet view where the grid lines will be visible by default.
    If necessary go to the datasheet section of Access options and tick both horizontal and vertical gridlines

    Or set border style to Solid for each control if you want a continuous form
