I've used access for 16 years.  Never had this happen before.   Just got new 
computer with office 2007.  I've dredded this change.   And was correct to 
dred.  Absolutly hate this product.   Completely non-productive 3 days.

I've worked thru most of the interface issues.  But now (and I've tested 
this in both forms and reports) I cannot display a property sheet for forms 
or reports or controls on the forms or reports.  From right click menu click 
properies-Nothing, From Icon on ribbon-nothing, from view menu property 
sheet- nothing.  And contact microsoft is not an option because they only 
support their products for a fee now.

First thing to check would be that you have applied Service Pack 2 for 
Office 2007. This link should get you there:

With a text box selected, Alt+Enter should also open the Properties sheet. 
In A2007, it opens to the right side of the Access window rather than as a 
pop-up.

You managed to learn the new interface in 3 days?
That's going quite well, I would have thought. :-)

Anyway, you might like to see if this helps you adapt:
