[AccessD] Tab Control Color

Rocky

...the tab control color in pre A2k7 is set by one of the more obscure 
windows system colors ...A2k7 gives you more say over the control colors 
...I have a utility I cobbled together that lets me set all the app/control 
colors in A2k3 but its not ready for release as yet ...but if you want to do 
something quick and dirty FMS still has an old A97 freebie control color 
setting tool on their website that is specific to version 8 ...however their 
source code is easily modified to work in version 11 and may provide you 
better compatibility between 11 and 12 re control colors.

...if anyone is interested most of the other FMS A97 freebies can be updated 
easily as well, I've used their old text formatting control in A2k3 in a few 
instances with good results.
