Left hand grey squares in the Datasheet

[MrDummy]

Hello ,

In a mainform I have a subform as DataSheet. On the left there are these grey squares for each record. Is there a way to remove these or to minimize the width.

Set Record Selectors property for that subform to No

[MrDummy]

Hello,

Sorry fort he late reply. However this does quite do what I expected it to do. The record Selectors at the bottom are gone now but the squares on the left are still there. Tried some other settings but unfortunately no luck.

Hmm, unless MS swapped names for this two elements in A2013 (I use A2010) - those "grey squares" are Record Selectors, and things you call "record selectors at the bottom" are Navigation Buttons. They're next to each other in property sheet so maybe you switched off wrong one by mistake?

I think you will find that the Record Selector property setting has no effect when the form is show in datasheet view. However, you could hide them if you made the form a continuous form which could be designed to look like a datasheet form.

[Missinglinq]

Bob's right...that's your only option, given what you want to do.

Just out of curiosity...why do you want to get rid of this component?

That's a new one for me, probably due to never using datasheet view. I always use single or continuous form and design it to my needs.
Anyway, TIL

Many thanks for the effort and the replies. It is more visually that I don't like it. I will go ahead with the Continious form then
