Specify the direction of a data access page and its controls

For a new data access page:

Before creating a new data access page, set the direction, either left-to-right or right-to-left, under Default direction on the International tab in the Options dialog box (Tools menu). That direction will appear as the setting of the Dir property of the new data access page.

For an existing data access page:

1. From the Database window, open the data access page in Design view.
2. Select the page by clicking the page title bar.
3. On the Page Design toolbar, click Properties , click the All tab, and change the Dir property setting to the page direction you want: rtl for right-to-left or ltr for left-to-right.
