Article ID: Q166362
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access 97

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

When you drag a line onto a Tab control page on a form in Microsoft Access 97, and you set the SpecialEffect property for that line to one of the following

  • Raised
  • Sunken
  • Etched
  • Shadowed
  • Chiseled

each additional page of the Tab control will display the image of the line.

RESOLUTION

To have the line appear only on the first page of the Tab control, you must set the SpecialEffect property of the line to Flat.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access 97. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
