[AccessD] A2003 Tab Control

If I may respond...

I agree with Brett, if your apps are working in an environment where your
users are going to be aware of what's happening and be concerned about it. 

If not - the options are all yours!

If I may be so bold...

Automatically changing another user's global settings to suit your
application's needs is considered by many (like myself) to be very
intrusive, and generally a poor practice.

However, there are valid reasons for needing to do this (I think you may
have touched upon one).  In this case, I would strongly suggest keeping
track of the user's original settings when your app launches and
restoring them when it closes.

Otherwise, be prepared for the confused users asking you why their other
Access apps look "different" since they ran yours.

Virginia,

If you have a startup form then you can set options programmatically as
the application opens on each client PC.

Use the keyword SetOption in code.  Look for the SetOption help page.
>From that page click on the Set Options from Visual Basic link.  That
will give you the correct syntax for each option.  And there's a bunch
of 'em!

HTH,

Dan Waters

One more question.... Isn't setting the Tools, Options, etc specific to
each PC (Access settings)? So when someone else opens the form it will
look like it did with the sick light colors.

 

Is there something you can set on startup to change the setting to not
show the windows themed control on forms?

 

We have XP & Office 2003.
