Could you recommend a method of expanding the help
context. The user has requested to display an extensive
help message when mouse overing a field on the form?

See:
http://www.lebans.com/tabcolors.htm
Tabs.zip is an MDB containing a class to enhance the standard Access TAB
control in order to allow for:

1) Tabs of any color

2) Rotated Text

Notes:

You must set the Tab controls TAB Fixed Height and Width properties

You must set the Individual Tab pages TAG property to whatever color
value you desire.



History

Version 1.6

Added support to allow for the coloring of just the Current/Active TABS
and not the background of the Tab control

Version 1.5

Fixed Bug under Windows NT or higher and Color depth set to 16 bits.
Tab. Added sample Form with minimum implementation code.

Version 1.4

Added code to auto select Tabs as user passes Mouse above the Tab. Final
adjustments to logic to size Bitmaps to exactly match preset dimensions
of Tab pages. Cleaned up code. Just need to remove a few more API
declares and the code is clean!
