Hi,

I've built a database in Access 2007 but need to also deploy it to some users using Access 2010. I'm currently testing on a 2010 laptop and the tab control captions are behaving oddly.

The caption on the selected tab is invisible (or perhaps white on white) and you can only see what it says by selecting another tab. I've experimented with various options on the Property sheet but none of them seem to work.

For instance I can change the Pressed Color property to #000000, but that turns the whole tab black which is not what i'm trying to achieve. All I want is to have black text on white tabs and for it to remain black whether selected or not. That sounds like it ought to be easy but it's baffling me!

I've attached a couple of jpegs, one showing the properties and one showing two examples of the tabs.

Why don't you try and reset the form themes
Go to design menu and in the second right button click it and try choose a themes in there that would change your labels and text colors
Maybe by resetting the themes you would solve it
 
Thanks so much for that! Themes hadn't occurred to me. I changed Use Themes to No, fiddled around some more with formatting (I think 'Use Themes' changed back to Yes at one point), but at least my formatting works now.

This is great, thanks again.
