Need tips on coding CR 8.5 report. 1

[TSCP74729404]

I want to print the details section of a report with decreasing shades of a color for each individual record until the last record reaches white, ie topmost record = dark blue, middle record = lite blue, last record white. I want to do it using variables.

The gradation you seek is rgb(0,0,255) to rgb(255,255,255)

So you'll use the number of rows in the report to increment the difference.

Report header formula:
numbervar IncrementRowColor:=255/count({table.field})
numbervar CurrentColor:= 0;

Details level formula for the color:
numbervar CurrentColor;
numbervar IncrementRowColor;
Currentcolor:=Currentcolor+IncrementRowColor
rgb(Currentcolor,Currentcolor,255)

Should be close enough.
