Change subreport colors

I have a report in which I alternate colors between white and whitesmoke.
Simple report that contains a table with a header and a body. The body is
set to =iif(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2, "WhiteSmoke", "White") I then add
another row to my table, merge all cells into one and add a sub report to it.
Here I display more data by setting the parameter of the current customerID
that I am on. Is there a way to pull the current row color from by non
subreport row and apply it to the entire sub report? This way the main row
and sub report (no matter how may row of data it contains) will have the same
color.Hi,
Welcome to use MSDN Managed Newsgroup!
From your descriptions, I understood you would like to set colors according
to per row's settings (For example, if the current row background color is
whitesmoke, the want the whole subreport background to be whitesmoke also).
If I have misunderstood your concern, please feel free to point it out.
Yes, we could add another parameter in the subreport and then set this
parameter value to be iif(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2, "WhiteSmoke", "White")
in main report. This parameter will pass the value to subReport,
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are always here to be of
assistance!
