Tab colour change when active

[janith]

Hi,

I've 7 tabs on my form. What I want to achieve is when a particular tab is selected/ active I want it to distinguish it self from other tabs with a different colour. Is it something already available on access. Or needs VBA please help and advise?

Hi Janith
If you are using an access generated navigation from, this should be working for you already?
However, if you don't like the default colours, check the properties of the tab.
You can set the 'Pressed fore color' (Which is the font colour) and
'Pressed color' (which is the background colour.

Another way is to have a tab control setup not to show the tabs (tabs hidden). Add a row of buttons above to stimulate the tabs.

Thanks all three ideas are good.. Will try the pressed fore colour option as already have a navigation form.. Than you all once again
