    background page color in a form

    Hi. I am a newbie here and just starting to familiarise myself with MS Access. I have a form into which I have tabbed several pages. I know how to set the background colour of the form, but the background colour of my pages remains white. Does anyone know how to set page background colour?
    many thanks.

    it is its own control - for every control you will find a back color property

    Unless this has changed with AC2010, a Tabbed Control is one of those Controls whose Back Color is set through Windows. There are a couple of workarounds out there:
