Change the gridline style and background color in a datasheet

1. Open a table, query, form, view, or stored procedure in Datasheet view.
2. On the Format menu, click Datasheet.
3. Click the options you want.

   For information about a specific item in the dialog box, click the question mark at the top of the dialog box, and then click the item.

Note   Changing the format of a specific datasheet overrides the default datasheet format defined in the Datasheet tab of the Options dialog box (Tools menu). Changing the default datasheet format affects new datasheets, but does not affect existing datasheets.
