Tabbed form formatting question

46 New Member
Hello,

I can't seem to figure out how to prevent a tabbed form from changing colors toward the bottom half of the form. See image below:



How can I adjust the background fill color of the tabbed form to prevent this slight color change? I can't find the property for back color of the tabbed form.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Not sure exactly what you've done, but I can only see about 1/2 inch (left-to-right) of a screen and see no difference in the red cirled area, which I assume is where you're experiencing a problem.

You need to attach a screen shot, if you can, or barring that, give a better descrition of your problem. We also need to know what version/service pack of Access you're running as well as your OS.

Version 2003, I believe, is noted to experience display problems with Tabbed Pages when running Windows XP. If this version/OS matches your situation, you might try right-clicking your Windows XP desktop, choosing Properties, and setting the theme to Windows Classic and see if that resolves it.

To be clear, the suggestion is to do that anyway, just to see what happens, regardless of whether or not you choose to keep the settings later.

I have a problem that I cannot delete components that are placed on a Tabbed page in Visual Basic.Net 2003. (OS = Windows 2000 Professional) The form uses a Tab Control with several pages. I have a Panel on the page and then some combo boxes, labels and text boxes. For some reason, I cannot delete any of these controls from the form (not even the Tab control istelf). The Delete and Cut options in the right click menu have been ghosted...

Hi all, As some of you would know from my previous posts that I am rewriting our Unix based system into .Net with a MDI interface. Recently I have added a tab control to the top of the MDI parent form that will contain a tab page for each open MDI child form. It is only 24 pixels high so all you see is the tabstrip. Then I only have to add a bit of code to the "changed index" event of the tab control as well as the "on activate" event...

Hi all! As a preparation of a conversion from VB6 to VB2005 I'm playing around with VB2005. One of the first things that strike me is the user-interface. In all documentation Microsoft keeps going on about this beautiful Tabbed MDI Interface that we all should be using. And I agree, it is nice. So I set out to build my first test-app and guess what? I can't find how to create a Tabbed MDI Interface... I do see the "old" MDI container,...

Originally posted by Missinglinq: The first thing to remember is that Tabbed Pages are all part of a single form; think of it as a really long form turned on its side and folded on itself. Because it is all one form, references to contols on any page are done in the same manner as if they were all on one single screen. Create a form in Design View. Goto the toolbox and click on the Tabbed Control icon; it actually looks like several...

Hello, I've recently created a tabbed form. The forms within the tabbed form have command buttons that create reports based on queries that are driven by the forms (based on the !! setup). The reports work on the individual form level but do not run as components of the tabbed form. I cannot figure out why this is. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
