Tab Color

D

dickw

I have a database using tabs. When opened in Access 2002, the tabs take the
color of the form background. When opened in Access 2003, the tabs are
white. I think I have looked at all the properties for the form and tabs
and can see no way to change the color of the tabs. Is there anyway to
control the tab color directly in access without using one of the workaround
routines.

Thanks.

Hi Dick,

Any chance that you are using the Windows XP operating system, and you have
the option checked in Access 2003 to use themed controls?

If so, try unchecking this option.

I don't have Access 2003, so I cannot test this first. However, I am aware
of a problem in Access 2003 that involves tab controls and Windows XP themes.
I'm not sure if a Knowledge Base article has been released yet--I haven't
been able to find it so far--or if the problem was corrected in service pack
1.
