1. Open a form in Design view or a report in Design view.
   
   
2. Double-click the form selector or the report selector to open the property sheet.
   
   
3. To change the horizontal dots, type a new value for the GridX property. To change the vertical dots, type a new value for the GridY property. Higher numbers indicate less distance between dots.

Note   The grid is preset to 24 dots per inch horizontally and 24 dots per inch vertically. If you're using centimeters as your unit of measure, the grid is set to 10 x 10. You can change these settings to any integer value from 1 to 64. Dots on the grid are invisible if you choose a setting that is greater than 24 dots per inch or 9 dots per centimeter.
