Access 2007 FAQ
How do you clear the query grid in Access 2007? I can't find the option anywhere.
Good question. This option is a little more obscure to find in 2007 compared to previous versions. In prior versions of Access if you went to Edit | Clear Grid that option cleared all the fields off the grid.
In 2007, you can find this option by following these steps:
1. Click the Home Ribbon tab
2. Find the Sort & Filter group
3. Click the Advanced drop down option
4. Now click the Clear Grid option
