HIghlight name/caption of active Tab page

Windows XP, MS Access 2000
===========================
Hi,

I was wondering if there is any way to highlight the NAME
(or CAPTION) of the active tab page on a form when viewing
it in Fprm View? Maybe change the color, or make it appear
Bold, or something to that effect.

Some of the forms have 8-10 tab pages, and I thought it
would be more readable if the name/caption of the current
tab page was somehow made to stand out from the rest of
the names.

Thanks for any help/pointers.

Tabs.zip is an MDB containing a class to enhance the standard Access TAB
control in order to allow for:

1) Tabs of any color

2) Rotated Text

Notes:

You must set the Tab controls TAB Fixed Height and Width properties

You must set the Individual Tab pages TAG property to whatever color
value you desire.

Thanks Stephen! I just downloaded the file and will take a
look at it. It could be the solution I'm looking for.
