    Making the report creator (and form creator) screen bigger (zoom in)

    HI All:

    My eyes arent what they used to be as I approach my 50th. Im writing some reports in access, and really could use a zoom in feature to be able to position things on the (tiny) grid -- is there such a function in access?

    Thanks

    Not really sure what you mean by 'tiny' grid. Are you talking about the dots in the snap grid? And/or the rulers? No, there is no zoom.

    As June says, no zoom feature. if you are trying to align controls, you can use the align options under the align tab which includes an align to grid. Alternatively you can populate the left/top/width/height properties of the control - or select multiple controls and populate them all at once. Or perhaps adjust the grid size - see this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdhU3OozCn4.

    Alternatively dare I suggest get some glasses
