[AccessD] Change color of a tab control?

Hi Arthur!

Re-Post:

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!

PS - Access 2003 tabs with the white color do look nice!

What version of Access are you using?  Dan gave an option for 2003.
Otherwise, I think you're stuck with Lebans's alternative.

Can this be done? (Other than dropping a subform onto each tab page,
then coloring it white -- which doesn't really cut the mustard.)

TIA,
Arthur
