New Stupid Book
Finally found it on page 644, but it doesn't say anything about how to get to the box to change it, just that you can. Also it says you can make custom formats, but doesn't tell you how.

I wish someday someone would make a manual that really HELPS!

That has to do with how and why big computer books are written and sold. The only entity that really has any interest at all (even though they are uninterested) in writing good doc for access is, well, microsoft. (yes, I know, nobody has to tell me about how access doc really is).

Usually, as here, the cynical explanation is the preferred on (hi ashton).

Note for the linguistically-impaired: That was a rhetorical question. (Second note, for the vocabulary-challenged: That means you're not supposed to answer it.)
