This must be done *outside of Access entirely* - it's a Windows-wide
setting (which might mess up some of your other apps, but I know of no
way around it).

Use the Windows Start button, and go through Start... Control Panel...
Regional and Language Options... Customize, and select U.S. on the
Measurement System dropdown at the bottom of the list.

Hi John
I already have the Regional and Language Options set (in my case
English UK) so no-go there

Hi John
I didn't read your suggestion/instructions FULLY
Under Regional and Language Options...
I didn't continue to 'CUSTOMISE', and select U.S
When I did do it - the page measurements did change to Imperial and
not only in Access, but in Word and Excel too

Thank you for your help and a lesson in "Read the instructions"
This is a bad habit of mine of jumping in without reading the
instruction fully

Many thanks
Regards
Martin
