Does anyone know how to format the caption on a tab
control? I want to change font name and font weight but
Access does not make these properties available in the
property box. Also want to avoid having to format via vba
code. Using access 97.

You can't do it on the individual pages, but the properties exist for
the tab control itself. Changing them there changes them for all tabs.

You need to select the tab CONTROL, not an individual tab. Note that
when you change the font face, weight, italic, etc. , you change it for
all tab captions, not just one.

You can't change the alignment, font color or background color from
Access; you can change the colors if you use code from one of the Access
web sites (can't remember which site - I think it is John Vinson's site).

My most humble apologies. I had a hard drive crash about 3 weeks ago and
haven't found all of the Access links I had shortcuts for. (didn't
back-up this HD in time) :-(

Your's is one of the sites I goto when I am trying to solve my coding
problems. I should have remembered....

An excellent site -> http://www.lebans.com
