Override Accounts tab with VF page

Hi guys,

I am trying to override the custom Accounts tab with a VF page. (see code below)

But when I go the override properties for the accounts tab, I cannot select my VF page as it does not appear in the list.

I know the standard controller needs to be included, which it is, but it is still not working.

Could anybody provide help on this?

Thanks

<apex:page standardController="Account" showHeader="true"
             tabStyle="account" >
     <apex:tabPanel switchType="client"
                    selectedTab="tabdetails"
                    id="AccountTabPanel">
        <apex:tab label="Details" name="AccDetails"
                  id="tabdetails">
           <apex:detail relatedList="false" title="true"/>
        </apex:tab>
        <apex:tab label="Contacts" name="Contacts"
                  id="tabContact">
           <apex:relatedList subject="{!account}"
                             list="contacts" />
        </apex:tab>
        <apex:tab label="Opportunities" name="Opportunities"
                  id="tabOpp">
           <apex:relatedList subject="{!account}"
                             list="opportunities" />
        </apex:tab>
        <apex:tab label="Open Activities" name="OpenActivities"
                  id="tabOpenAct">
           <apex:relatedList subject="{!account}"
                             list="OpenActivities" />
        </apex:tab>
        <apex:tab label="Notes and Attachments"
                  name="NotesAndAttachments"
                 id="tabNoteAtt">
           <apex:relatedList subject="{!account}"
                             list="NotesAndAttachments" />
        </apex:tab>
     </apex:tabPanel>
  </apex:page>

You should not use standard controller to override in this method. Try removing standard controller attribute.

VF page will appear in VF page Tab section.. I am not really sure how you are trying to override the custom account. Did you used custom object to create tab and later trying to change attributes.

The tab is standard and I am just trying to change the lay-out by overriding it with a VF page.

Below is how I am trying to override the standard tab/link.
I have created a VF page, but cannot select it in this list.
