Tab background colour

[bones4864]

This should be an easy one for somebody. I'm a newbie to access and I'm experimenting with a tabbed form. My problem is if I create a new form with (say) two tabs, the area to the right of the tabs(where more tabs would be inserted) is white and I don't know how to change it to blend in with the rest of the page. Hope I'm making myself clear.

Open the form in design mode and open the tab control properties. Ensure that the back style property is set to normal.

Hope that helps

Thanks but I had a thought overnight(they don't happen very often so made quite an impact) and I've found the problem. Disabled WindowBlinds and all looks as it should. Cheers

I'm also trying to figure this out - and am not using windows blinds. I don't want to change the colours of the tabs themselves, just the area to the right of the tabs as described above.
