Change background color - Tab Form

[Stephen Lynch]

Does anuone know if you can change the backgound of the tab control. My
pages are white, when I place the control it gray. I would like to change it
to either a color or use a gif.

Thanks
in advance

Stephen,
Tab controls only allow the Normal (sand) color or Transparent (main form
background color) backgrounds.
You can place a Box around all the controls on your tab page, color it to
suit, and the "Send to Back" it.
Also, if you want the thumb tabs of a tab control colored check out
Stephen Leban's site...

I wrote an article in the May 2004 issue of Access Advisor magazine:

on creating your own tab controls so that you have complete control of the
look and feel.
