Unable to open property sheets - Access 2007

I sure hope someone else has seen this, because I'm about to go crazy!

I am unable to open Property Sheets anywhere in any of my
databases...eve n a brand new one. Right-click Properties brings up
nothing. Clicking the Property Sheets button in Tools brings up
nothing. The button appears to depress upon mouse-click, but doesn't
stay pressed (so I don't believe it even has focus). Now, here's the
twist....the very same database(s) on a different box allows me to
open the Property Sheets.

I've tried the solution for the off screen property sheet - Alt
+Spacebar then M, then use arrow keys to move the Property Sheet back
into view, but since I believe it isn't even opening, this option
doesn't help.

If anyone has ANY suggestions, I'm open to trying anything at this
point. Access 2007 is miserable to use without Property Sheets.

Thank you!!

I found the fix after many many hours of poking around. I hope this
helps someone else with the same issue.

First, log on as a new Windows user to the computer to see if you have
the
same problem. If you can open Property Sheets as the new user, export
the
following registy key in regedit:
HKEY_CURRENT_US ER\Software\Mic rosoft\Office\1 2.0\Access\Sett ings
\CommandBar*s
Then, log on as the original user, and double click the exported REG
file to
import it.

Just found out that the Microsoft Rich Textbox does not support full text justification, since it's based on Version 1.0 of the RichEdit Window Class, and full text justification is only available in versions 3.0 or later of the class. However, also just found out that the new Rich Text property in Access 2007 ALSO does not support full text justification! This seems incredible, that MS would create a brand new application, and not...

Hello, I am currently doing a report in Reporting Services. I can pull the data up fine and have it layed out close to what the user is wanting with one exception. One of the fields I am having to pull about 18 different types of that field. For each one it brings up is a separate record. Which is fine because I just change the layout in Reporting Services and put the 18 items below the 1 main item. However the client would like all of the...

Hi, Last week one client had errors caused by another program which led the IT guys to wipe out and rebuild the hard drive on one particular computer. Prior to this happening, the people in this department were using a 2000 format database through Access 2007 without any issues. Since IT rebuilt said hard drive, one user now gets a message when attempting to open the same database that 2007 cannot open older format databases. The...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
