Gordon,
There is a tool that will do this, which you can download from http://www.ing.unitn.it/~grass/software.html called punti. It will create a point objects based on an underlying grid. So you'll need to create a 100m grid using the Gridmaker tool and the run the Punti utility to create the points at the intersects of the grid.

Subject: [MI-L] Creating grid of points
Hi
I am trying to create a grid with single points appearing at each of the intersections of the horizontal and vertical lines. All attempts that have come to mind so far have not worked correctly. Can anyone please help?
Desired result:
Single points appearing at 100m spacing related to British Grid 6 figure grid references, (point would need to be at xxx,x00 m E, xxx,x00 m N)
Approaches already tried:
Gridmaker, Closed Regions (custom line style of single point at start)- start point does not appear at corner but partly up side of square Gridmaker, Straight Polylines followed by Enclose on lines (style as
above)- Enclose mostly creates squares in a switchback sequence (N on first column, S on 2nd etc)leaving points only appearing on every 2nd column
Approaches not tried:
Polyline split of every vertical with every horizontal line and vice
versa- 12x10km so too large by hand and don't have tool to automate
Thank you
Gordon
