Property sheets define the options for the currently-selected report component. When you set a property option, it is automatically applied to the selected report component.
Property sheets change based on the category selected. There are several categories available, depending on the type of report component selected. Each category shows another set of characteristics you can set for a selected report component. By default, property sheets are displayed on the right side of the Report Deisgner.
To show or hide property sheets, select View, and then Property Sheet.
