Set your tabs to NONE and then create your own "tabs" using text boxes or graphics and then you can have control over them.

not quite what i had in mind - might of gone down the wrong path

i have a tab control with 2-3 pages in it on the 2nd/3rd I will have a note field with a tick box on it - if the tick is true then I want the caption to flash ...
I can use your coding (I seen it on the samples) - to do a get round - but I was looking for a smarter solution -

your response as always bob is appricated =
If i don't get the chance before christmas - have a good one

Not many options available with the standard tab control.

thought so -hence the phrase am I pushing it and the answer is yes-

I will do my work round- not as smart - but will do
