Possibly the dumbest question to grace this board

[DeMarcus]

So my database is nearing completion, and things are looking great. Tables, queries, forms..

But I've got a weird problem for my reports. To make my reports easier to read, I drew lines to create a grid. The lines are hairline and are gray.

When I print my reports to the color printer at my workplace..

The vast majority of the lines do not show up. None of the horizontal ones show. A couple of the vertical lines do show up. One of the vertical lines has breaks in it where the line does not appear.

This is downright mindboggling. Can anyone help?

Try everything

Without sitting at your PC it is difficult to advise.

Try printing to a different Printer; changing one of the lines that does not show to see if that makes a difference; viewing the report in zoom mode.

I had someone come to me with a printer problem yesterday and I couldn't believe that the problem source was "lack of power"...!

Also, hairline is difficult to get to print correctly on many printers. Try moving the lines up to the next size.

Also, this was not the dumbest question to grace this board. I've seen much, much, much worse.

Surely there are no dumb questions, Nothing is obvious to one who does not know, however we do occasionally get dumb answers.
