This article was previously published under Q124786 SUMMARY
Although you can turn on the Snap To Grid setting in order to position and
align fields in the Design Form (Works 4.0, 4.5, and 4.5a) or Form (Works
3.0) view of the database module, the Snap To Grid increments cannot be
changed. In addition, the Snap To Grid resolution is determined by your
video driver resolution and may vary from one computer to another.
MORE INFORMATION
The increment of Snap To Grid is fixed internally at 8 pixels; however, the
increment in inches depends on the resolution of the video driver you are
using. Most video drivers (including standard VGA) have a resolution of 96
pixels per inch, where 8 pixels equals 1/12th inch. Other video drivers may
have resolutions of 120 pixels per inch, resulting in a Snap To Grid
increment of 1/15th inch.
If the international measurement units setting in Control Panel is set to
metric, the resolution of Snap To Grid will be converted to centimeters.
NOTE: The ability to change grid increments in a form is available
in Microsoft Access.
