    Tabbed Forms

    Finally figured out how to convert existing form with a bunch of subforms into a form with tabs. Looks much neater now. However a new problem arose with the image when this was converted. Now a border shows around the image even though the control in the property sheet is set to transparent.

    The border was transparent BEFORE I changed the form to tabs. The picture border shows whether the image is displayed WITHIN the tabbed folder or OUTSIDE the tabbed folder. I wouldn't mind if the border would resize to fit each image, but don't find that option anywhere.

    Design view with property sheet: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resi...JuY-KsKiffm32M

    Also, if anyone knows how to change the font type on the tabs that would be appreciated also.

    Edit: Figured out out to get image to fill visible frame as a solution by using zoom control -- but that makes some photos distorted. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

    I have seen this with different sizes and orientation of images. Other than using an image editor to get all the images to same size, I don't know of any fix.

    Select the tab control, not each page of the tab control, to set the Font properties.
