Access 2007 freezes with properties page open.

I have many apps that were originally written in Access 97 and/or 2002. We
recently moved to Office 2007. The issue I'm having is that with an app open
and a form in Design View with the properties page displayed, each time I
select any object (click on it), the whole thing appears to freeze for 7-10
minutes. During this time the CPU sits idle and the memory remains
unaffected. Once the freeze up is over, I can continue working on the app
normally. If I remember always to close the properties page before clicking
any controls/objects on the form, the performance is fine. I've tried to
remedy this problem by creating a fresh, blank DB in Access 2007 and then
import all the objects from the old app into it (hoping it will clean up any
inappropriate properties during the process).

Needless to say this is extraordinarily frustrating.

We are using the Access 2002-2003 file format.

The exact version of Access is (12.0.6423.1000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)
