From William Schlageter, Lead Software Developer
If you have a Crystal Report that has a lot of detail lines, it can be hard to distinguish between the different lines.
Here is a way to add an alternating background color to you report.
Right-click on the Details section and select “Section Expert…”.
Click on the Color tab.
Click the formula button (the blue “x 2” button).
Type in the following formula:
if (RecordNumber mod 2)=0 then crSilver else crNoColor
Click “Save and close”.
Click OK.
Now when you preview the report, you will find the report has a silver background for each even row.
