Tab Colour

[Mark Howard]

I have a form with 2 sets of Tabs.

I want to make it easier to see which tab page is active.

How do I conditionally format the colour of the tab lable
so that the active tab label is "red"

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

You can't change the color on the Tab. By design.

Mark please keep all correspondance to the NG's.

We have a major Blizzard here tonight so I took the time to update my
Tabs class.
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

Version 1.6
Added support to allow for the coloring of just the Current/Active TABS
and not the background of the Tab control
