Make Microsoft Access Property Sheet Text Larger and Easier to Read

Small property sheet text can make form and report design in Microsoft Access unnecessarily difficult, especially on high-resolution displays or when your eyes need a little extra help. This episode covers Access's newer option for increasing the Property Sheet font size so design settings are easier to read. We also discuss the difference between zooming forms in Form View and the still-missing zoom support in Design View. For those times when precise control placement is hard to see, Richard shares a practical workaround using the built-in Windows Magnifier. It is a quick accessibility and productivity tip for anyone who spends time building Access forms, reports, and other database objects.
