Andreas.
Thank you for your reply.
However, this was not my problem; but I finally found out what it was.
Go to Tools/Options/Appearance.
Scroll down to TEXT DOCUMENT
Then to GRID.
Change from Automatic to Black.
Scroll down to SPREADSHEET
Repeat as above
Scroll down to DRAWING / PRESENTATION
Repeat as above
Hopes this helps someone else, there doesn't appear to be any mention
of
this in the HELP documentation.
John.

You get a grid with your existing form controls for free when you
hit
the last button of toolbar "Form Navigation" while working with the
form.
If you want to draw a so called table control in design mode then
you
should push the special button on toolbar "Form Controls" having the
tool tip "More Controls". This pops up another toolbar with
additional
types of form controls.
