What do you mean by "tabs" - is this for tab controls or the object names or what?

This link shows one way of doing it: http://www.fontstuff.com/access/acctut12.htm

Another method is described here: http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/Tab...-t2001626.html
That link also explains the point of Tabs/Buttons & None options

Have fun!

Thanks but I wanted something direct.

AFAIAA, unlike Excel, there is no simple method of colouring tabs in Access.
If you want the effect, you have to put in a little effort.

See this for possible approach with access 2016/O365 --not sure have never used it.

I may be wrong but I assumed the OP wanted different colours for EACH tab (as in Excel)
The BackColor property allow you to alter the appearance of the active and inactive tab pages like this





Although you can do a bit more with that approach, I don't think each tab can be coloured individually
UNLESS you follow one of the approaches I gave in post #3

Yes Colin, I think you are correct --OP wants different colours for each tab.
