Question

I inherited a MS Access database and at my new job. I don’t know much about Access and they asked if I could make every other line of a report a different color so it is easier to read. Is there an easy way to do this?

Answer 1

This is pretty easy to do. The easiest way I found to do this is to use the following code:

Option Explicit
Dim ColorDetail As Boolean

Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
   If ColorDetail Then
      Detail.BackColor = 16777215
   Else
      Detail.BackColor = 13290186
   End If
   ColorDetail = Not (ColorDetail)
End Sub
