Wierd problem. I was working on an app and I could not go into design mode on any of the modules...It wanted to repair. So, I opened up a new blank db and imported all the objects. Only issue is, I had a tab control that had a grey back color in the original app -- after the import it now has a whiteish background. On the original app, if I add a tab contol it has a grey color....with the new app it is the whiteish background. Does anyone know what is happening here.
