Hello

I am using an access adp project with windows xp pro, access 2003,sql 2000

I have dropped a tab control onto a form and the background color of the control is white - which looks misplaced on the standard grey form.

Try as I might I cant get the background color to change to grey - there dont seem to be any properties and I've experimented with the transparency setting with no success.

Any ideas how to change the background colour please??

(PS when I was using Access 2000 any tab ctrls I used had grey background colour by default!)

Thanks
 
While using Access2003 with WinXP you have an option to utilize the system theme on controls. If you don't need that you can turn it off from
TOOLS > OPTIONS > FORMS/REPORTS > USE SYSTEM THEME....
