Transparent subreport

[fergler]

I have a report in which the rows are alternating shades of gray and white. I'm adding a subreport where the rows of data will line up with the rows of data in the main report. I've made the subreport fields transparent, but because I can't seem to remove the background color of the details section, the subreport shows up with a white background in the report, which kind of defeats the purpose of the alternating row colors. I even added code to the subreport to alternate the row shading there, but that doesn't fix the problem. Is there anyway to make the detail section of the subreport transparent?

Thanks.

Hi Jennifer,

After reading that you were able to do alternate row colors, i thought maybe you can assist with me problem.

I have a report that has several subreports. For one of the subreports I would like to grey out a row if the "category" for that row is a specific value.

Here's my code:

On report open:

If me.category.value = "category name" then
me.detailfield1.backcolor = number
end if

but I'm getting an error message.
