Print and preview a database diagram (ADP)

Applies to: Microsoft Office Access 2003

Note The information in this topic applies only to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).

Printing a database diagram gives you a useful picture of your database structure to refer to or distribute. You can preview the page breaks in the database diagram. You can also further customize the way your printed database diagram will look by changing the layout of the database diagram, and by specifying the table views in the database diagram.

Show Print a database diagram

Display the diagram and make sure its layout is what you want to see on the printed page.
From the File menu, choose Print.
Depending on your printer setup, you may need to make or verify a selection in the Print dialog box and click OK.

The Database Diagram Designer displays a set of grid lines showing how the database diagram will be broken into pages when it prints. You can recalculate the grid lines after you've added or rearranged objects.

Show Preview page breaks

If grid lines aren't already displayed, choose View Page Breaks from the Diagram menu.

Show Recalculate page breaks

Right-click in the diagram, and choose Recalculate Page Breaks from the shortcut menu.
