Contextmenu for controls (design mode) is gone ??

Arno R

For some reason I don't have a context (right-click) menu anymore for my controls in designmode.
I DO heave a context menu for the form or report itself but not for the controls ???

What have I done wrong??
How to correct ?? Must be something I am overlooking but what ???

I do have several Access-installations on my machine (always have...)
The problem happens on my machine for both Access2000 and Access2003
For Access '97 (and also Access 2.0) everything is still fine.

Thanks

Update:

Even uninstall and re-install of both Office 2000 and Office2003 did NOT work....
Still no right click menu for controls in design mode. Also I could not add a thing to the toolbar...
Very strange and annoying.

So I went to 'go back' to my image, but for some reason the norton ghost file on the second dvd was corrupt...
Damn!

Had to go back to another image of more than a year ago.
Had to install and 'tune' a lot of software again.

What a drag software sometimes is! What a waste of time !
BUT my right click menu is back!
