Tabbed form color change?

[Sandra]

Is it possible to change the color of a tabbed form from
the default grey to some other color or background?

TIA, Sandra

Not directly using Access methods but there are ways to create the effect of
different colors - check out this solution by Stephen Lebans:

You can use bitmaps to change the color. Even better, I use labels, which
can have any color I want. I set a colored rectangle behind the tab control
and set the Tab control to Transparent with NO buttons. I use "hover button"
labels as in the example on my website:

You use the "buttons" to change pages which are indexed from 0 (zero), so
the code looks like:

Sub lblHoverButton1_Click(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Tab1 = 0
End Sub

Sub lblHoverButton2_Click(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Tab1 = 1
End Sub

etc.
