frozen or locked property sheet (form design) Access 2007 Rusty User 12/5/2008 5:50:01 PM I've been using Access 2007 for months and this just started happening for no apparent reason. Not always, only sometimes, the property sheet in form design opens up but it's locked. I cannot click on any of the fields or tabs, only the close button. I seem to have to exit Access before it will work again. Then it happens again later. Anyone else have this problem? Suggestions? Thanks very much.

RE: frozen or locked property sheet (form design) Access 2007 Rusty User 12/19/2008 4:34:01 AM Thanks, Bob, for your info. I've discovered that this only happens when I open the form through the switchboard which uses macros. So, now I can avoid the problem. :) "Rusty User" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I've been using Access 2007 for months and this just started happening for no > apparent reason.
