Howdy. I've got a number of subforms displaying in datasheet view. I want to
get rid of the alternate row color scheme. I've set both the back color and
alternate back color to the same value, but they still show in alternating
colors.

I changed the default alternate row color (through Access Options>Current
Database) to be the same as the row color. In a new form, all rows are the
same color. But forms created when the default back/alternate colors were
different still show alternate colors.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Thanks.

Hi Danny

Look for an event in your form. Probably the on format event. It has the
code that sets the alternating colors. Get rid of the event (erase all the
code) and everything will be the same boring color.

I spent over an hour trying to figure out how to turn the alternative row feature off in Access 2010. To save everyone some time in the report/form design view click on the Format tab and within the Background group click on Alternative Row Color and select No Color - not a big fan of 2010
