How to alternate background colour in a report

I have a request to alternate the report background colour as the field for
the Day-date changes. I know there is a parameter that can be referenced
about the background colour, but I am not sure about how to get it
"programmed" into the report.

Make sure the BackStyle of each control is Transparent.

Code the Detail Format event:

If Me.Section(0).BackColor = vbWhite Then
Me.Section(0).BackColor = 12632256 ' gray
Else
Me.Section(0).BackColor = vbWhite
End If

====
If you wish each page to start with a white row, code the Page Header
Format event:

Me.Detail.BackColor = 12632256 'Reset color to Grey so that the
first detail line will become white

Change the colors as needed.
