I tied your suggestion
and created a report file, but there again I could not make it print the
report with the lines. Do you have any new suggestions as how I might
solve this problem?
Create a Report with textboxes where you want the grid; view the
Properties of the textboxes, and set their Border Style property
(under the Format tab) to Solid (or dashed or dotted, whatever you
want the gridlines to look like). The default is Transparent but the
default can be changed!
I don't know why the datasheets stopped printing... hmmmm... no,
there's nothing obvious under Tools... Options about printing
gridlines; there are checkboxes that let you choose whether to *show*
them.
