Tab Color

[dickw]

I have a database using tabs. When opened in Access 2002, the tabs take the
color of the form background. When opened in Access 2003, the tabs are
white. I think I have looked at all the properties for the form and tabs
and can see no way to change the color of the tabs. Is there anyway to
control the tab color directly in access without using one of the workaround
routines.

Thanks.

I do not have 2003 in front of me at this moment, but I wonder if the
theme controls is causing this??

Try:

Tools | Options | Forms and Reports and uncheck
'Use Windows Themed Controls on Forms'

That did it. I never thought to look there. Thanks a lot. It seems that
the simple things are the ones that get to you.
