Unable to view object properties in form design view (Access 2010) (1 Viewer)

[Groundrush]

Any idea why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?

I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.

Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?

Normally when you want to view the properties of say a command button you simply double click on it and it will open to allow you to view the Format, Data, Event, Other and All Tabs.

I am trying to edit the on click event of the command button to edit the code within but I cant get there to alter it.

Looks like this is the solution

No idea what caused it to be unavailable as it worked before
