[AccessD] A2003 Tab Control

Assuming that Access/Office 2003 shares some behaviors with Visual
Studio.Net, the style is affected by the the theme and by whether the
object or application has been configured to support themes.  If you use
a classic windows style instead of the WinXP themes, everything may look
as it did before automatically.

AFAIK you can't
I have had to re-do the 'look' of my screens <sigh>
But having said that I have seen 2003 installations give the old 'square
edge' buttons and some Installations of 2003 give the 'rounded edge'
buttons. It might be an OS or Office SP issue - but whatever it is - I
had to make changes to accommodate it. I have also noticed I can't get
the 'new look' tab controls to be exactly the same colour as my
backgrounds. They use a colour that Windows calls 'white smoke' SO the
background of my forms now has to be 'white smoke' if I want the tab to
appear ...um...'neatly'

(I think whitesmoke is 245 245 245 or 16119285 if you are using the
property sheet (Or something like it)

I hope I am wrong and someone can tell me a better way

See ya

Ok, in 2003 how do you make a tab control look like it did in 2000? I
can't make it raised & it is this sickly pale green color & beige
background.

 

Even to make the controls on the tab sunken I have to go through each
choice in the Special Effect list first (shadowed, chiseled, then
sunken) to get it to show the way I want. Is this normal?
