[SOLVED] Alternating SUBHEAD and SUBFOOT background colors
Is there any way to get the SUBHEAD and SUBFOOT background colors to match the background color of the data row that they surround? The data rows have alternating colors and I want the SUBHEAD and SUBFOOT to use the same alternating colors.

Using the alternative row color in the data gives more visibility on it and the color change, from one to the other, is based on the number of detailed data to display.

I don't think that it's possible to have the same alternative color pattern for the SUBHEAD and SUBFOOT because their is always only one of them per BY level used for SUBHEAD and SUBFOOT.

But you can change their color as you probably already know but they will not match the same pattern as the data. The goal of the SUBHEAD and SUBFOOT is to have distinguished row from the data...

Thanks both of you for your input. Martin, you definitely understand the issue I'm having and its unfortunate that there isn't an exact fix. My table does have a one-to-one grouping of the subhead and subfoot to the data row and I'll be using your design idea to better break the data up.

Thanks again for your help.
