Dear Rick, I have just completed this module and all seems to have gone well but for one slight problem - when I run my report with all the letters showing, every alternate record has the grey background that you see when you have a list of records.  I am hoping it is just a question of uncheckking a box but I can't seem to find one!  Could you point me in the direction please, so that all the records will have a white background.  Many thanks,  Finola

This is one of my pet peeves with Access 2010. I hate this setting. It should be an OPTION not a default. Go to Design View, right-click on the background of your form, select Properties. On the Format tab, you'll find Background Color and Alternate Back Color. Set the alternate the same as the regular background color (or NO COLOR) and that fixes the problem.
