1115593 2010-07-03 11:44:00 Hi, I am doing a doing editing a "report" in design mode with MS Access 2007.

There is a horizontal ruler on top, how do I find out what metric it is using and to change it?

I have right click it (properties) - it only shows the width in inches afaik, how do I change the format to centimetres?
I have also gone thru my Access Options to no avail, I might of missed something.


Cheers.

1115594 2010-07-03 12:15:00 You change it in Control Panel, Regional and tell it to use Metric. The units will now be in Centimetres. Checked in Access 2010 but there is no way of changing it within Access. Sweep (90)

I went into control panel - region and language, I cannot find metric. Only currency, date time etc ..
