How do I get the first line of my report changed to a different background color. My first line on every report will have a a unique transaction id of "0" and in the sourcename field the unique name is "Opening Balance". All I want to do is to just have the first line be displayed any color but its orginal.

I want to highlight this line only and not the rest of the transactions below it.

Thank you in advance.

In the Format event of the Detail section (if that's the section you're using):Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
If [Unique Transaction ID] = 0 Then
[YourControl].BackColor = WhateverColor
End If
End SubSomething like that I think.

More general case:
If you dont know what data will be in the record
you can use

If Me.CurrentRecord=recordnumber Then
....
End if
