I have Access 2003 running under 2003 sbs on one of my workstations, and XP
running on the other. On the 2003 system, the version is:(11.5614.5606), on
the XP system, the version is:(11.8166.8221) SP3. I have designed a system
with Access that uses tab controls. I set the background property on the tab
control to "transparent" so that the color of the underlying form will show
through. On my 2003 machine, that works; on the XP machine, using the exact
same code, the tab controls remain white regardless of the color of the host
form. Obviously, i expected the control to act the same on both systems. Is
there any known reason for this?
 
Transparent backgrounds don't work for tab controls in A2003/2007 unless you
turn off Themed controls.

In A2003, go to:
Tools | Options | Form/Reports.
