I'm new to Access and have set up my database. However, when I print, I
can't get the gridlines to print. I know there must be a button somewhere,
or in the print options, but I cannot locate it. Can anyone help? Thanks!
 
It *sounds* like you are working directly in the tables and assuming
that they should behave like a spreadsheet. If so, your assumption
is wrong. Access is relational database an should not be thought of
as a spreadsheet. Tables are used for storing data and defining the
relationships between the different entities in your db. They are not
intended to be printed.

Post back with other questions or if I've misunderstood your post.
 
This question comes up every once and so often, and unfortunately there is
not a real easy solution...

For the most part what I do is simply use the wizard to create a report, and
then in the report detail section, simply highlight the whole row of text
boxes.

You think bring up the properity sheet, and simply turn on border settings
for hte text boxes. The resulting output will give you a grid.
