[AccessD] A2003 Tab Control

Hi Virginia

Like Brett I will warn you too to proceed with this. Changing the
display settings for pure cosmetic reasons is very serious, it may not
be possible at all (due to lack of user rights), some users will be
ready to kill you for delivering such an amateur "I own it all and to
He.. with your settings"-app, and you will not be able to reset the
settings if the user has made changes not saved in a theme.

Now don't say you haven't been warned ...

That makes sense. I will make sure I turn it back on when they close
the
dB. Most users probably wouldn't notice at all, few other databases
around (in Access anyway). But setting it back is a good idea. Thanks.

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.
