Hi

I am using tab-pages to hold my subforms. I would like to highlight tabs
which have data in them. Can I alter the font, colour, weight? I can't
find a property for it. I have used this highlighting technique for
command buttons before, to signify to the user if click-to-open will just
open an empty data form.

Access 97. Any suggestions?

You can't find the property because unfortunately it doesn't exist. You
could try altering the Picture property as necessary.

I don't believe any of them do.

You might check out what Stephen Lebans has at http://www.lebans.com though.
He's got at least one page there related to tab pages (changing the colour
of the tabs)
