I need to alter the style of a tab control at runtime, I have tried using controlName.Style = acTabs and controlName.Style = acNone, but acTabs and acNone do not appear to be defined anywhere.

Any suggestions as to how I can get round this. please.

John

MyTabControl.Style = 0 'Show normal tab view
MyTabControl.Style = 2 'Shows no tabs

Or you can make your own constant for it:
Const acTabs = 0
Const acNone = 2

Then you can use them instead of the actual value if you want.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, that's great. Works just like I need.

Strange that they are not defined somewhere.
