3. In the Properties Window dialog that appears, set the following expression in the BackgroundColor property: =iif(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2, "PaleGreen", "White")
4. On the design surface, set fields the detail row of the table data region.
5. Go to Preview tab and view the result. You will notice that every alternate detail the report displays has a green background.
