Back color of Tab Controls

[RevJeff]

Hi All! I have spent hours trying to figure this out. Is there anyway to change the back color of Tab Controls? All that shows is a white backgound.

Thanks!

AFAIK there is not built in way to do this. You can fake it.

Form Tab Colours

Hello, I am basically self taught, and would like to colour code my form tabs. (Access 2010) Is this possible and how?

There are the Back Color and Pressed Color properties. Or, are you talking about changing individual tab colors?

Agree with @MajP.
Although easy to do in Excel, its not possible in Access.

You can easily edit the back colour & pressed colour properties, but there is no method by which each tab can be given a different colour.
It can only be done by faking the effect as shown in the link in post #2

You get two choices AND they are pervasive. The color scheme of a TAB control is derived from your current Windows theme. Those items will use SYSTEM colors and that is for Selected or Not Selected. Two choices only. AND those choices apply to every other application (even non-Access applications) that have tabs.
