You can use the following properties to customize a tab control to make it look just the way you want.

MultiRow |
Specifies whether a tab control can have more than one row of tabs. If the MultiRow property is set to No, Microsoft Access truncates the tabs if they exceed the width of the tab control and adds a scroll bar. |
Property sheet for the tab control |
Style |
Specifies what to display at the top of the tab control. You can display tabs, command buttons, or nothing. You may want to display nothing if you want to use a command button on the form outside the tab control to determine which page has the focus. For more information on the Style property, click . |

TabFixedHeight |
The height of tabs in the unit of measurement specified in Windows Control Panel. If the value is 0, each tab will be high enough to fit its contents. |
Property sheet for the tab control |
TabFixedWidth |
The width of tabs in the unit of measurement specified in Windows Control Panel. If the value is 0, each tab will be wide enough to fit its contents and, if there is more than one row of tabs, the width of each tab will be increased so that each row of tabs spans the width of the tab control. If the value is greater than zero, all tabs have an identical width as specified by this property. |
