Change Colour of Tab Control Background

[simonwar]

I've tried everything I can see in the Tab Ctrl Formats to change the background to suit the background of my main Form.

When its default Grey, you do not see the edge of the Tab Ctrl, but when you change the yuck grey to something more warming, the grey background of the Tab Control box is now evident.

How do I change the Tab Ctrl background before i go mad ?

Also, can you change the page colours ?

Thanks, Simon.

Checked link out.
Yes it does the trick, but in a very long winded way, by creating the look of a Tab Ctrl box wihtout it actually being an Access preset Tool.

I was hoping for a simpler solution, maybe leave the pages colours alone and stick with the background - until I'm more confident n the solution?

Any easy ideas on the background colour change to match main form though still appreciated?

Thanks, S.

Nope, there are no easy ways as the tab control color is controled by WINDOWS settings and not Access.
