frozen or locked property sheet (form design) Access 2007

[Rusty User]

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.

I've had that happen before, but typically I can just go down to my task bar,
click the Access button so it minimizes and then click it again and then it
works again.

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.
