Question regarding Measurement in Microsoft Access 2007

[KRoss]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how I can change the measurement bars( rulers)
in Access 2007 from centimeters to inches. I really need to know because our
text books use inches and out Access program is in centimeters.

A quick search on-line revealed a number of possible solutions.

The consensus of the first few seems to be that Access 'inherits' the
Windows Control Panel Regional settings, but doesn't have a setting of its
own.

Good luck

Correct.

When I install a version of Windows and I choose Canada as my country
the system defaults to metric. So I have to use the Regional Settings
to change it to English.

Although I'd probably be just as happy if the measurements were in
twips.
