Hi Tim,

Access "out of the box" does not support this function.
Here are a few options for you:

1. See MVP Stephen Leban's for all things magical.
Specifically:

http://www.lebans.com/tabcolor貞.htm

2. Here is an alternative posted by MVP Arvin Meyer:

>>>>>
You can use bitmaps to change the color. Even better, I
use labels, which can have any color I want. I set a
colored rectangle behind the tab control and set the Tab
control to Transparent with NO buttons. I use "hover
button" labels as in the example on my website:

http://www.datastrat.com/Downl觔ad/MouseMove.zip

You use the "buttons" to change pages which are indexed
from 0 (zero), so the code looks like:

Sub lblHoverButton1_Click(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Tab1 = 0
End Sub

Sub lblHoverButton2_Click(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Tab1 = 1
End Sub
