Tab Control is now white??

[Mitch Powell]

All of a sudden tab controls I add to a form are white (they used to match
the standard grey color of the form background). How can I get it to match
the form background color? Is there a setting I inadvertantly changed to
create this behavior?

Transparent backgrounds on TabControls are broken in Access 2003 if you
have "themed controls" turned on in options.

If you are using V2003, as Rick is guessing (and I am, too, given the
symptoms)I believe this may be one of the bugs fixed by SP3. You can download
it here:

Sad to say, SP3 itself is buggier than the Great Dismal Swamp, so you'll also
have to download and install its hotfix:
