Tabs

[dyow]

I have a form that has about (5) tabs on it. I would like the color of the tabs to be different. I am not sure how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey dyow,

Access doesn't allow you a way to do this. You can take a look at Stephen Lebans site and he has some code that will allow you to do this.

Here's the link:

You can use a Microsoft Forms Tab Strip Control which gives you a lot more utility. Just click on additional Tools.

Will this allow for the new color of the whole page of the tab or just the tab itself? Thanks.

I thought that you could do either, but I played with it and it does not. Actually there is both a MSForms Tab Strip and a Multi Page control. The Multi Page control is what I should have referenced. What you can do is place text boxes over the Tabs and control the movement of the multi page control and the color of the textboxes so it looks like the Tabs are changing color.
This however looks like more pain than it is worth. On a MSForms multi page control you can only place MSFORMS controls not Access controls.
Lebans site has a lot of good stuff. Probably a better approach.
