Adding color

[Debbie]

I'd like to add color to the tabs on my form. Could
someone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
Debbie

There is no way in Access to change the color of the tabs on a tab control.

The tabs are drawn by Windows and should appear consistent with you're
current Windows Display Properties. If you're running on Windows XP then
your tabs should be drawn according to whatever your current Windows theme
is.

You might want to check Stephen Lebans' website and d/l and look at his
code:

Here's a way of cheating and getting what you want. It also has a
downloadable demo

Nah! The only thing I can take credit for is keeping a Favorites folder
with links to the "good stuff"!
