My tab controls are gray and bulky looking - a la Windows 3.1 or Win95 tab
controls. But in various places (esp. microsoft.com), I see screen shots
where the tabs appear flat and contemporary looking, like the tabs used
throughout Office 2007 itself. There are no properties for the tab control
to modify the colors or shapes of the tabs (or buttons). Am I doing
something wrong, missing good instruction, or is this just a natural
limitation of the tab control?

I found the problem. On the "Access Options" -> Current Database - I had
turned off "Use Windows-themed Controls on Forms". Problem fixed.
