FOrmatting Query

[Kipper]

HI,

This is probably very simple (I hope so anyway) but I have a form with a tab control page within it. I am trying to change the background colour of the main form without changing the colour of the tab control sheet (the one with my data on it). Is this possible?

Also, I was wondering if it possible not to have a solid colour as a background. I would like graduating tones of the same colour as a backwash.

Any help would be much appreciated. Ths is my first real attempt at deigning a front end incidently so I am very new to this.

many thanks,
K

No, you can't change the back color property from a tab control sheet to be different than the "main" form.
Whay you could do though, it to create a subform, which has the tab control in it and set the back color property of that subform to your desired color.
