Change default design grid spacing?

[psandrew]

I want to change the default grid dots per inch spacing in Access 2003 forms
design view without having to enter the desired spacing in the form
properties every time I want to design a new form. I know I can save a blank
template form with the settings and then use that for designing new forms,
but is there another way?

Hi,
Create a new form and set its grid spacing to your specs. Save the form.
From the database window choose Tools >> Options >> Forms/reports tab>>
in the box for Form Template type in the name of that form with the grid set
just how you like it. Every time you create a new form, it will have the new
grid. It is a good idea to set other defaults on the same form as well.

Thanks. Does the form wizard use the saved form template to set its defaults?
