Microsoft Access 2010: How to create Multiple row for tab control?

Anonymous

I have a 50 page form and therefore decided to use tab control...one page for each tab. Can anyone tell me how to have the tabs on different rows instead of having them listed horizontally. I have set the "multi row" to "yes" but it still keeps showing the tabs in one row until i can't even see extra tabs i'm adding because the width of the page increases with every tab i add. What I want is roughly 10 tabs per row...is that possible? Is there anything else to change beside setting "multirow" to yes? thanks in advance.

Select the tab control and set the [Use Theme] property to off.

    I found

    Set tab control tabs to have multiples rows.<br><br><br><br>Set tab control USE THEME to NO.<br><br><br><br> If you need more than one row and started placing objects inside the page, you will have to adjust the objects when you add more tabs.

    That's working but that's very ugly!

    It looks a lot better when using the theme.

    Come on Microsoft... fix this!

    You could also allow to set the tab pages to the left instead of just on top.
