Ruler units and grid dots.

I just obtained Access 2003, I was familiar with it before I got it and am
used to having inches as the measurement unit and having grid dots in the
report design view, but for some reason I have centimeters and 1cm x 1cm
boxes.
How do I change the ruler units, and change the report design view to show
grid dots?
Thanks in advance for any advise!
 
You must choose US instead of Metric as your measurement system in the
Regional Options for your computer. (This is a global setting for your
computer; use caution, as changing other values can bring a lot of trouble.)

The dots will appear if your Grid X and Grid Y property the form are both
less than 10 pour metric and less than or equal 24 for US measures.

Access uses the measurement unit defined in the Windows Control Panel, under
Regional Options.

To display the grid dots, open a report in design view, and choose Grid on
the View menu.
 
Thanks so much for your help, I'll try that!
