...the measurement system is based upon your regional settings in the xp control panel ...you can customize it to use the English measurements while leaving everything else localized ...HTH :) William Hindman "You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, The Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the US of arrogance, and Germany doesn't want to go to war." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Bond" <stephen at bondsoftware.co.nz> To: <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 4:19 AM Subject: [AccessD] Access 2002 and imperial measurements > > I'm sure this is simple, but I can't figure it. > > New box, Win XP Pro, Office XP Pro, no other versions of Office installed. The supplier of the box installed the lot for me. This country went metric measurements twenty-something years ago but my teeth are long enough to be still more comfortable in inches. Managed to change Word 2002 to inches (Tool>Options>General) but how do I do the same for Access 2002? Having to do things on reports and forms in centimetres is painful, particularly when I am supporting versions of a package in both A2000 and A2002. > > TIA > > Stephen Bond > Otatara, South Island, New Zealand > tel 03 213 1256 fax 03 213 0123 > _______________________________________________ > AccessD mailing list > AccessD at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd > Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com >
