back colour for tab pages

M

Miranda

hi,

does anyone know if it is possible to change the back colour of tab pages?
there is no setting in the properties window. Also...if i change the back
colour of the form there is still a section on the tab pages (around the
tabs) that is grey (old form colour)...is there anyway to change this??

thanks in advance,
miranda

You cannot set the background color of the tab pages directly in Access. You
can set the BackStyle property of the tab control to Transparent so the
pages appear the same color as the form's detail section, but this does not
work properly in Windows XP.

To set the background color or the form:
1. Open it in design view.
2. Right-click the grey bar that reads "Detail", and choose Properties.
3. Set the color you want (bucket in toolbar).

If you are prepared to put in the effort to force the tab pages to change
color, get Stephen Leban's download from:
