Customizing the Appearance of Tab Controls

[Cowtown]

Hello,

I've created a form which features several tab controls. I'm having trouble
customizing the appearance of the tab controls. The 'properties' section
only features customizable features for fonts - I'd like to be able to change
the background color of the tab sheet itself. If I try to use the 'fill/back
colour' button, the background color of the form is changed, but not the tab
sheet.

I'd appreciate any help anyone could offer...

Have a great day!

You have reached the limits of the customizability of the built-in Tab
control. You can build your own as described in an article I wrote in Access
