Discussion

Access provides several features to help you size and position controls on a form.

The grid in Design view is a series of small points and lines in the Design window. The points and lines (gridlines) help you position controls. When the Snap to Grid feature is activated, all controls added to the view are automatically positioned on grid points. Both the Grid and Snap to Grid features are enabled by default and can be disabled as desired.

NOTE Both the Grid and the Snap to Grid commands are toggles. If they are have a gray background, then they are activated.
