Understanding the Property Sheet
With the Property Sheet displayed, click on any control in Design View to display the properties for that control. Select multiple controls to display similar properties for the selected controls.
In Figure 35-20, the Property Sheet has been sized to fit the screen. By widening the Property Sheet, you can see more of its values; by increasing the length, you can see more controls at one time. The vertical scroll bar lets you move between various properties.

Change an object’s properties with the Property Sheet.
The Property Sheet has an All tab that lets you see all the properties for a control. Or you can choose another tab to limit the view to a specific group of properties. The specific tabs and groups of properties are as follows:
- Format: These properties determine how a label or value looks: font, size, color, special effects, borders, and scroll bars.
- Data: These properties affect how a value is displayed and the data source it is bound to: control source, input masks, validation, default value, and other data type properties.
- Event: Event properties are named events, such as clicking a mouse button, adding a record, pressing a key for which you can define a response (in the form of a call to a macro or a VBA procedure), and so on.
- Other: Other properties show additional characteristics of the control, such as the name of the control or the description that displays in the status bar.
Figure 35-20 shows the Property Sheet for the Description text box. The first column lists the property names; the second column is where you enter or select property settings or options.
