How do I name a text field based on a tab name?

[Steven547]

Hello.
I'm using a tab control setup on my Access form. The only problem, is that with 2003, you can't "colorize" the tabs so the user can know exactly which one they are using (if you can, please let me know!).

So, I would like to have a text box that displays the name of the tab the user is currently using.
I'm thinking the code is something like this, but not sure how to do that...

me.(my text box name) = me.current tab name

Any help is appreciated!

something like this ?
Me![textbox name] = Me![tabcontrol name].Pages(Me![tabcontrol name].Value).Name

Hope This Helps, PH.

This is true ... however you can fake your users out with the following: Create the Illusion of Colored Tabs
