SYMPTOMS
Changing the Show Ruler option in the Form & Report Design section of the
Options dialog box overrides this setting in existing forms and reports.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the Show Ruler option is changed for a new form
or report. For example, if you set the Show Ruler option to No for a new
form or report, that setting will override a Show Ruler option of Yes that
was set in any already existing form or report.
Note that this behavior also occurs with the Show Grid and Objects Snap To
Grid options.
NOTE: This option was removed in Microsoft Access for Windows 95. Most
Options have been moved to the Tools menu. However, Show Ruler, Show Grid
and Objects Snap to Grid are available only on the View menu. If you change
them on the View menu, the changes will also affect the next form or report
you open.
