change color of tab when it has focus

[MICKI0220]

I have a form that has 8 tabbed pages to it. My user would like the tab to change color when it has the focus. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help

Unless 2010 provides the ability to color a tab, there is no easy way. Here are three methods.

Users native tab control very flexible. My favorite because I wrote it. Just drop the lables on the form and they are automatically positioned.

Uses seperate pages and shapes. I think this is very tedious to work with

This uses API. Flexible, but may be hard for many users to understand code.
