I have created a form with a tab control within it. The main form background
color is orange, but the tab control background shows up as white. I go to
properties to try and change the background color, and my only options are
'normal' and 'transparent'. I've tried them both and the background remains
white! Anyone have any suggestions...???

If this is Access 2003 on Windows XP, go to:
Tools | Options | Forms/Reports
and uncheck the box:
Use Themed Controls.
