Crystal Reports:
Background Colors
Control those background colors on a
section (All versions).
In the section expert, you can set a
background color on a section. This can be an effective way to highlight a
colored band for column headings.
But one effect you may not want is that
the band goes all the way across the page. If you want a colored band
across the report, but would like it to be narrower, we have a solution.
-
Create a second section and move it
the above the original section.
-
Set this new section to “Underlay”
-
Make the section slightly larger than
the subsequent section
-
Insert a box in this section, change
the Border Style to “None” and set a fill color
This can be a very effective formatting
technique to add some color to your report
