Access 2003 Transparent TabCtrl## Problem

When I set the "Back Style" of the TabCtrl
to "Transparent" so that the Back Color of all tabs or
pages will be the same as the Back Color of the Detail
the Back Color of the tab does not change. The Back Color
of the tabs or pages remains White.

Any suggestions on why the Back Color of tabs or pages
does not change to the Back Color set in the Detail?

Thanks, Jeremy

Access 2003 does not respect this setting if the Windows XP themes are on.

You can get transparent tab controls only if you turn them off. Right-click
the desktop, choose Properties. On the Themes tab, choose Windows Classic.

Thank you, Allen. It was driving me crazy.
