Access 2000 in windows XP Pro - For some reason the scale
in the report design defaults to millimeters and this is
regardless of the assigned printer and the print page
default which had been set to inches.

Starting a new report, it goes to 10cm width immediately.

I am not sure but it appears that it may be related to a
new updated Zebra driver for a label size of 4" x 8" that
was recently installed (Zebra 140XiII). Why this would
affect the overall defaults and override any other
printer setting e,g Lemark 2455 plus in 8.5 x 11 inch
paper size, I don't know.

If anyone can throw some light on how to get back the
inch scale, I would be grateful as this doesn't appear in
the Microsoft Knowledge base that I could find

Hi Marcus,

As Douglas said, it is controlled by control Panel->Region and Language
options->Regional Options tab->click customize button->Numbers
tab->measurement system.

Changing measurement system to U.S. uses the inches unit.

Thanks,

It was under the Customize portion. It appeared to
coincide with a printer driver installation from Seagull
Scientific for a Zebra Label printer 140XiII
