Hello

Does anyone know whether it is possible to change the forecolour of the tab control Name - just for one tab?

Thanks

You cant change tab colours but you could over lay one with a label and colour the label.

Thanks, good idea, the only problem I have is that certain tabs on my control only appear in certain situations so I am finding that the label is in the wrong place on some ocassions, if that makes sense?? I cant actually get the label to 'stick' to the top of the tab...??

OK what about creating some bitmap images in the way you want as in the properties you can use pictures the only thing I see here is getting the size right.

Alternatively you could you a sub form and have a set of labels perhaps in the form header and when you click the correct label the control source for the subform switches.
