Greetings, all!

I want to do something kind of fun.  I am trying to figure out how to
do alternating background colors in a continuous form.  I was looking
at conditional formatting in Access 2002, but am not sure how to work
out an expression that will do the trick.

I am also looking a doing it programmatically, but I think I'd have
to do some heavy subclassing, which isn't worth the work just for eye
candy.

Surely someone must have done this before.  Can anyone either offer
sugestons on how to figure it out, or post actual code?  I'll be sure
to give proper credit when it's time to submit the results to the UI
Hall of Fame.  ;)
