Is it possible to change the font colour on the name of one tabbed page in a tabbed form.

I'm not sure about Access 2003, but in Access 2000 there is no way to change the color of a tab control.

It seems to me that somewhere I have seen a work-around, but can't recall where. If I find it, I will post back.

No way in any of the version except Access2003 with WinXp that support system color not the one you are asking for.

Alternative ideas are..

The way I get around it is to set the Style property of the tab control to none. Then I place labels (or command buttons) above the tab control to simulate the tabs. Now you can do what you want with them.

Check out this thread thread702-474863 I explained how to do it

You can also create a small bmp file in paintbrush with the text and use the image.
