[AccessD] Background Color for Entire Access Report Page

Brad,

 In the OnPage event, draw a rectangle and fill it.  You'll need all the
controls background set to transparent.

 You can also address the entire page from one of the header events if you
want. You just need .MoveLayout = False if your not doing anything in that
band (ie. you have no page header but draw the rectangle in the page header
OnFormat event).

Jim.

Subject: [AccessD] Background Color for Entire Access Report Page

All,

I would like to make the background of an entire report page light blue in
color.

I thought that this would be really easy to do.  I simply used a "fill"
color for each of the sections of the report (Report Header, Page Header,
Detail, Page Footer, Report Footer).

My test report only has a few lines of data that fills about 1/3 of the page
at the top.

When I print the report, the top 1/3 of the page is blue, the very bottom of
the report (the page footer) is blue, but there is a large area of the page
that is still white.

Is there a way to make the entire page blue?

Thanks,
Brad
