Don't you ever get sick of the pain white reports in filemaker... I found a way to make every other line have a background color.... (line1 = white, line2 = blue, line3 = white, line4 = blue, etc.)

Create a container field named "color_1"

Create another container field named "color_2"

Create a calculatiuon field named "color_calc" with this for the calculation

If(Mod(Status(CurrentRecordNumber), 2) = 0 , color_1 , color_2)

now Cut and paste a color block into "color_1" and a different color into "color_2". Put the color_calc field behind the fields in your report layout and set the graphic format to "reduce or enlarge" and uncheck the "maintain original proportions"

I am sure a lot of you pros have already figured this out ... but i thought it was cool!!
