Access 2003. My tab control (which works fine under
Access 2002) behaves stragely in Access 2003. In
particular, as I progress from tab page to tab page the
previous tab title is blanked out. So, moving from left
to right, I start out with five tabs with titles showing.
As I click one after another, the previous tab blanks out
(title is replaced with white background). When I get to
the right most tab most if not all the tab titles are
blanked. As I move back to the left, the tab titles
reappear. How may I fix this?
 
Hi Doug

I have not seen this, but expect it is a display issue rather than an Access
issue.

What happens if you move another form (or the database window) in front of
your form? Minimize? Add a code button to Repaint? Anything that might force
Access to redraw the screen?

If this is running on Windows XP, try disabling the Themes which does cause
other display problems with tab controls. Right-click the Windows desktop,
and choose Properties. Temporarily set the Themes to "Windows Classic".

It could also be a video driver issue.
Right-click the desktop, and choose:
Properties | Settings | Troubleshoot
Set Hardware Acceleration to None.
 
Changing the theme fixed the anomaly. Thanks.
