Hi all,

I have been searching for a setting that enables me to change the background colour of a tab control on a form. It may be something obvious that I have missed.

Changing the type to 'transparent' and setting the form background colour does not seem to work.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Rob

I downloaded the first .mdb from Lebans and I've almost got it working but my tab control had a picture and a caption and this is only changing the color where the picture had been located and I haven't been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Can anyone help?

The tab control has the same color as a Windows element. So the only sure way to do this every time is to change your WINDOWS color scheme.

Yeah, I know it is a pain in the toches. But what are you going to do? Bill Gates isn't noted for making things pretty - or easy. He makes them work - barely - for as much money as he can charge for it.

This works like a charm in Access 2k:

And he has a few other cool ideas as well.
