All, Sorry about the subject not being on subject in my previous post. To creat a new message to this group I usually just respond to a previous message, but change the subject. In any case I found my problem with the tab control. The "Use Windows Themed Controls on Forms" item was checked in the Options group. Unchecked it and now my tab is transparent. Maybe this will save someone else some trouble.

Tried to create a form this morning and put a tab control on it with the background set to transparent. Even though the background property on the control says it is transparent, the background does not change from the default white. As I recollect in XP and 2000 the tab control work area would turn transparent if the transparent property was set. Is this some new feature with Access 2003, a bug, or am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any information on this.
