    Unhappy disappearing gridlines

    Hey guys, I have been working on this database for the past couple of weeks. I was doing some routine maintenece and it crashed.


    Now the gridlines are missing. when i look at the property sheet the bottom gridline is enabled with a 1pt thickness.

    I also lost the ability to delete and rename database objects... but more important for now is the gridlines becasue of an upcoming presentation.

    if would be awesome if someone knew what I can do to get the gridlines back

    Gridlines from where?

    Might be file corruption. Try importing objects to a new file.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.

    Are the 'Default gridlines showing' both checked?

    Might be worth doing a Compact & Repair, click on the Database Tools tab on the Ribbon.
