Unable to open property sheets - Access 2007

[imagirlgeek]

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...even 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_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\A ccess\Settings
\CommandBar*s
Then, log on as the original user, and double click the exported REG
file to
import it.
