[AccessD] Tabcontrol mis-behaving

Access 2003
On XP and Vista

I have Form in a small app that has a Tabcontrol with 4 
pages two of which are in use.
On on tab page a few text controls and subform control
On the other tab page an activex control (ocxWeb)

Transparent Backstyle
Style = None
Multirow = No

After a couple of days running fine on Vista it now crashes 
continous when trying to open the Form with the tabcontrol.

On XP box works fine

I Import the app from XP box to Vista box - same thing 
happens again - Access crashes (exception in Access.exe) 
when trying to open Form.

I create an empty .mdb and import all objects.

I Open the App and lo and behold!! the Form opens, but the 
background / backstyle of the Tabcontrol is now WHITE!! 
although setting is still set to transparent backstyle....

No way I can get rid of this unwanted white background.

What is this? 

Should I just re-create the Form with a transparent 
backstyle tabcontrol - hoping this is just a one time odd 
behaviour - or is there something about tabcontrols that 
suggest that I should stay away from them???

Regards
Borge
