ACC: Default Width in Report Design Does Not Reflect Margins

Last reviewed: May 28, 1997
Article ID: Q92670

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0, 97

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

The default grid area is independent of how a report or form is printed. The controls you place in the document determine the size.

In the United States, the default width of the grid area is set to 5 inches, regardless of the print settings (paper size, orientation, and margins). There is no relationship between the default grid area size and the default paper size or print area.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
