I ahve very long title for Page Caption in the tab. It is truncated. How do I change the size of the tab's caption?

Hi!

Select just the tab you wish to deal with in design view. Click the properties button on your form design toolbar (it looks like a hand pointing at a form). On the format tab of the property sheet, see if there is a font size attribute.

More important than this, though, is to make sure that you have thought through all the reasons for having the name that long in the first place. As I am sure you are aware, aside from managing and presenting data to the user in a slick interface, one of the things a form should do for a user is simplify the process. A tab control name's purpose, in my judgment, is to present a quick, at-a-glance indication of the kinds of information contained on the page, not be an editorial comment on the data itself (not that you are doing that . The shorter the name the better.

Hope it's not too preachy...

Have a look at the TabFixedWidth and TabFixedHeight properties of the TabControl object.
