I too have struggled with this for a long time. I finally went to MS to see what they had to say. Nothing helped. When this thread started, I looked back on the items I had saved. I found this jewel waiting for me. It became clear what needed to be done, Debbie Elam posted the below code in January of this year. It was so simple... Thanks Debbie. Jim Put this in the detail section on format Dim X As Single Me.ScaleMode = 5 Me.DrawWidth = 3 X = 0 Me.Line (X, 0)-(X, 22) X = 0.9604 Me.Line (X, 0)-(X, 22) X = 1.9083 Me.Line (X, 0)-(X, 22) X = 2.7604 Me.Line (X, 0)-(X, 22) X = 3.6271 Me.Line (X, 0)-(X, 22) X = 4.3354 Me.Line (X, 0)-(X, 22) X = 5.2111 Me.Line (X, 0)-(X, 22) X = 5.95 The value of X is the number of inches from the left you want the line to be.

I finally just colored the background of the Detail section a light gray (230,230,230) and colored all the text boxes white. That gives the effect of a nice subtle grid.
