Alternate Background Color

I have a table about 3 rows. I want to see every other row highlighted gray
so it easier for the eye to follow.
any ideas?
Thanks
Fab.You can use RowNumber(nothing) Mod 2 to find out if the row is even or odd,
and use this in an IIf to change the background color.

I would use a custom function for this as it is quite a common thing to
want to do.
' Alternate Row Colors
Public Function AltCol(ByVal RowNum As Integer) As String
Dim ReturnColor as String
If RowNum Mod 2
ReturnColor = "WhiteSmoke"
Else
ReturnColor = "White"
End If
Return ReturnColor
End Function
You could extend this by adding optional variables for the alterante
colors making this a completely generic function.
To use this go to expressions in the Row BG Color tab in properties.
add the following line: =Code!AltCol(RowNumber())
This is just pointer in the right direction but what it allows is for
you to uses this all over a report, groups with out having to IIF
everywhere.|||Hi

"WhiteSmoke" for even rows? How would I combine the two iif statements - one
for mod 2 =0 and other for mod 2 = 1?
Thanks.
