So you'd like to put a TAB control on a form, Part Four  / Conclusion

About the only thing left to discuss is altering the visual parts of a tab control - unfortunately, there's not much you can do. About the only real modifiable parts are the page headers font, size, color and so on...to change the page header tabs, select the tab control itself. There, you can adjust the FONT used in the page tabs, the size and weight of the font, and other characteristics like Italic or Underline. Here, I'll change from the default font to a 9 Point Tahoma bold, and you'll see the difference on the page headers... 

 

 

So there's our finished form - three pages, each with specific record information, a searching combo box to find records, and all done in about 10 minutes....I hope this little tutorial was of benefit to you, and it helps you utilize the tab control more easily and efficiently. Please contact me via the web site if you have any questions or problems with this tutorial...
