How can I change my measurements from Metric to Imperial: Access

I have Windows Vista and Office 2003. In Access 2003, it is using
millimeters and I would like to use inches. How can I get it to change from
Metric to Imperial?

Sincerely, Marnie Shaw

Access gets things like unit of measure from the Regional Settings (accessed
through the Control Panel). You cannot set Access to use a different unit of
measure than what's been defined there. Recognize that changing the Regional
Settings will impact other programs as well.

Mr. Steele, thank you so much for your help. That worked wonderfully - and I
was even able to change the way my dates are displayed on the computer to be
the way I prefer. It is wonderful that you and people like you are willing
to help people like me in ways like this.
