Zooming in Design Layout

[Guest]

Is there a way within Access or some third-party tool that allows you to zoom in during design mode? I'm having a problem getting some vertical lines to align and I think if I could zoom in while drawing them I could do it. Basically, I have a box in the header and I'm trying to add a line that aligns with the right edge. I've tried the align option in the Format menu but that did not do it.

What happens if you set the left property of both lines to the same value?

I miscommunicated my problem. I have a box in the header and a box in the footer. I want a line that connects them. I have drawn the line. It touches the box but is right on the outside of it rather than being an extension.

I solved the alignment problem by reducing the size of the box to hairline to match the width of the vertical line.

I would still like to know if there are any third party products that allow you to view the design window in a zoom fashion or allow you to edit a report in report preview mode, like Crystal Reports.

Thank you.

You have a couple of options.
1) Windows ships with a free MAGNIFIER tool that you can use.
Start-Programms->Accessories->SomewhereHere

2) I wrote a magnifier tool in Access available here:
