Adding a Tab Control

I want to add a tab control to a form that covers the whole form. When I do
this the background color of the tab control is white. I want to change it so
that the color is transparant so that whatever back color I use for the form
will show through. I can't seem to find a place in the properties to change
the color of the tab control or make it transparent. I have used a tab
control before and the control is usually the same color as the background
of the form. Is there are way to change the color of the tab control? I am
using Access 2003.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards,

Dee

There is a property of the tab called "back style" that you can set to
transparent to handle this. If you are having difficulty, make sure you are
pointing to the tab control itself, not something on the tab or the whole
form, etc.
