OK folks, I am trying to make a form that has an area with a grid-like box content so that it can be used for a drawing via access. It can be done in excel by showing grid lines etc....
I however can not find anything similar in access unless I completely overlooked it. Can anyone help?
Attached is something like I want it to look like

Ooh, intrigue.

How do you do it in Excel?
If it can be done in Excel, why not do it Excel?
What do you mean by drawing?

++I don't see the attachment that explains these things.

OK in excel one would just make a larger box with dark borders and then the inner borders are lighter but grid like, then to draw on one needs to just darken the borders of their drawing.
This is part of a much larger application base that is in Access
 
The attachment in your first post is missing.
Maybe it would be useful.
 
OK back from the weekend, looks like I forgot the picture, I will try again

That looks like you formatted a sheet rather than an Excel Userform.

I guess the grid in the middle is for a hand/draughtsmans drawing?

If so I don't think it can be used as direct input/storage into an Access table so we have to go back to my original question, why do you want to do this in Access?

You might be able to draw to a report if it's just for printing.
 
I see, was hoping to be able to incorporate it into but I guess not
