[AccessD] Change colour of tab control

Hi Arthur,

If you're using Access 2003 and you have 'Use Windows Themed Controls on
Forms' (Tools|Options|Forms/Reports) checked, the tab controls are natively
white.  You'll also need to set your display settings to Windows XP Style
under Appearances.  I don't know if A2007 is the same or not.

Or, you can replace the tab control with a set of aligned and adjacent
buttons across the form, with swap-out subforms in a subform control.  More
work, but you can do anything you want with the colors!

BOL!
Dan

Subject: [AccessD] Change colour of tab control

Is it possible to change the colour of a tab control? The current client
wants everything white, and the tab control comes up grey. Any way to fix
this?

TIA,
Arthur
