[Guest]

I created a form and I cannot for the life me figure out how to change its
color...
Can anyone give some advice?

Hi Tim,

Access "out of the box" does not support this function.
Here are a few options for you:

1. See MVP Stephen Leban's for all things magical.
Specifically:

2. Here is an alternative posted by MVP Arvin Meyer:
You can use bitmaps to change the color. Even better, I
use labels, which can have any color I want. I set a
colored rectangle behind the tab control and set the Tab
control to Transparent with NO buttons. I use "hover
button" labels as in the example on my website:

http://www.datastrat.com/Downl­oad/MouseMove.zip

You use the "buttons" to change pages which are indexed
from 0 (zero), so the code looks like:

Sub lblHoverButton1_Click(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Tab1 = 0
End Sub

Sub lblHoverButton2_Click(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Tab1 = 1
End Sub
3. A visual walk-through can be found here:

Hope that helps,
