is first item in the group

Hi all,
I have the report layout like this:
Group1
Item1
Item2
...
Group2
Item1
Item2
...
...
I would like to alternate the background color on Items and Item1 always
starts with the same color and alternate from there for the rest of the
items in that group. How can I do it? I use IIF(RowNumber(Nothing), color1,
color2) but it does not work with item1 being the same color for every
group. Please advice. Thanks.I got it. Thanks.

is displayed when returned from database call

I am making a web Application, where non breakable space (&nbsp;) is
crucial to the layout. When I write &nbsp; directly into the html, it
is displayed correctly. But If I store a value in the database (MS Sql
server 2003) containing the &nbsp; code it is rendered to the browser
like this:
King&nbsp;Kong
instead of
King Kong
Any solutions?
Yes, formatting shouldn=B4t be stored in the database unless you have to
use this in any way. I suggest formatting your text on the client side
not storing in in the server. Anyway, did you look at your HTML Code
which is rendered ? Perhap syou use a special control which does the
formatting for you, so that &nbsp; will be HTML coded as &nbsp; int
the client code.

html codes occurs somewhere in your client code or components.
Hope this helps.

yes the hml code formats the retrieved string as KING&nbsp;KONG. I
will try to make a serverside function that exchanges all spaces in the
string with &nbsp;=20
I=B4ll let you know the result in 2 minnutes

it was quite easy
public static string unbreakSpaces(string oldstring)
{
return oldstring.Replace(" ", "&nbsp;");
}
