When do you want to alternate?

The group header only has 1 record

I moved a whole bunch of stuff into the group header, so I want every other line in the group header to be gray, instead of white. &nbsp;There is no detail line showing, just the group header.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I know there is a way to insert a colored text box and format the text box to alternate from grey to white, to grey to white, etc. &nbsp;I just don't know what to put in the formula box under FILL to make it do that.<br />
<br />
Can someone help?<br />
<br />
I think it is something like <br />
<br />
If {ado.x} &lt;&gt;&nbsp;{ado.y} Then<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Formula = crSilver'True &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
Else<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Formula = crWhite 'False<br />
End if<br />
&nbsp; but I do not know what ado.x or ado.y is.<br />
or should be.

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
