Hmmm.

Different colours in a list view.

You could script it to jump every other record and add a colour in a container field with a loop.

But if you have a huge list this will be tedious.

I don't think you can set a calc to look at the previous record to see if that has a colour container and then not add it and then vice versa for the next.

1 question. WHY?

I knew I'd seen this somewhere, and here it is ! Fenton Jones to the rescue. There's even a sample file to download, as well as the whole FileMaker 101 series.

This stuck in my head because I thought this calculation was pretty clever, using the Mod() function to determine odd or even:

RowBack c=

If (Mod(Status(CurrentRecordNumber), 2) = 1, RowBack g, "")
