[AccessD] Background Color for Entire Access Report Page

Charlotte,

Thanks for the advice.

I can see "Can Shrink" at the Report Header Level, but not at the Page Header Level (Access 2007).

I thought that it would be really easy to have a background color for the entire report, seeing how powerful Access Reporting is.

Maybe I am missing something here.

Thanks again,
Brad

The detail is only as high as the data that fills it.  You may have to add
dummy rows of data to fill the space or else make the pageheader the full
height of the report and set canshrink to false and have it underlay the
detail.
