Form.DatasheetCellsEffect property (Access)
Use the DatasheetCellsEffect property to specify whether special effects are applied to cells in a datasheet. Read/write Byte.
Syntax
expression.DatasheetCellsEffect
expression A variable that represents a Form object.
Remarks
The DatasheetCellsEffect property applies only to objects in Datasheet view.
This property is only available within a Microsoft Access database.
The DatasheetCellsEffect property uses the following settings.
| Setting | Visual Basic | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Flat | acEffectNormal | (Default) No special effects are applied to the cells in the datasheet. |
| Raised | acEffectRaised | Cells in the datasheet appear raised. |
| Sunken | acEffectSunken | Cells in the datasheet appear sunken. |
This property applies the selected effect to the entire datasheet.
When this property is set to Raised or Sunken, gridlines will be visible on the datasheet regardless of the DatasheetGridlinesBehavior property setting.
The following table contains the properties that don't exist in the DAO Properties collection until you set them by using the Formatting (Datasheet) toolbar, or you can add them in an Access database (.mdb) by using the CreateProperty method and append it to the DAO Properties collection.
| Properties | Properties Continued |
