ACC97: Tab Control Not Displayed Properly When Placed on ActiveX Control

• Microsoft Access 97

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

When you place a control from the toolbox over an ActiveX control on a form, the control is not visible or is not displayed properly. For example, when you place a tab control on top of a Calendar control, the tabs are the only part of the tab control painted on top of the Calendar control. The rest of the Calendar control is painted over the actual pages of the tab control.
