I have created a database in Access2k that uses a tab control with the
backstyle property set to transparent. This works fine in Access2K, XP and
2003. I have then created a new database in Access 2003 and immediately
converted it to Access2k (before I created any objects) and them imported
the form with the tab control. This doesn't seem to work. I have read
previous posts about Access 2003 running under Win XP with themes not
respecting the Transparent setting of the tab control.
My question is: Is this true in the above scenario?

Tony,

It's true, if you uncheck the box under Forms/Reports regarding Windows XP
theme the transparent control on a tab control works fine. (I had the same
problem)
