Change gridline color at specific value

Has anyone written a conditional statement to change a gridline value at a
specific value?
=iif(?=90, "Red","Silver")
Any advise is apreciated.
Thanks,
Scott A. BakerSorry, setting the color of individual gridlines is not supported.
Are you trying to set a specific horizontal gridline (in a column chart or
line chart) or a vertical gridline (in a bar chart)?

This becomes helpful in setting a static goal line. In my example
=iif(?=90, "Red","Silver") , the 90 represents the goal.
Thank you for your response.

line. Set the data value expression to =90 and set the BorderColor property
accordingly.
Note: you don't use the gridlines to show your static goal line, but rather
you add a "fake" data series with a constant value to show the goal line.

Again thank you for your prompt response. I have added a static line to the
charts that cover multiple time periods. However, I also show a period
summary that only has one x axis value. In this case, a static line does
not work because there is not more than one data point to connect to.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Scott

But here is another idea for the summary scenario with only one datapoint:
turn off margins on the x-axis and use a column chart to draw a "zone"
instead of a target line. Since the margins are turned off, it would like if
the chart had then only two zones and your actual datapoint summary value
either is in the "good" or the "bad" zone.

Change color of alternating rows

Please help. I need to distinguish blocks of information on some reports and
I need to be able to altenate the colors.
Please advise.
Thank you.Use RowNumber(scope) function to determine the report row is odd or even and
then set its backcolor property accordingly (e.g. set report detail row's
BackColor property to an Expression, like:
=IIF(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2=0, "Silver","White")
Note, if your report has different groups, you need to pass a correct value
to the "scope" argument of RowNumber() function.

Certification: Looking for advise

Hi All

I have been working with Ms access Database the last four years and have gained a lot of experience which help me to have extensive knowledge of Jet, Dao and Ado. Since The Begining of this year i hv been migrating to SQL server server and for that i bought two books :Programming Access project file with Microsoft Sql server and Access Developers Guide to Ms sql server : Chipman & Baron ( this oner is simply a great achievement ). They help me out in the very near past to complety migrate a two database approch Jet Application to a reliable (Adp/ SQL Server client server ) where major parts of the code business logic has been transfered to run on the server as stored procedures and all forms re-built as unbound. these merely leads to a great enhancement of the applications.

My goal now is register to MCDBA and get the certification. I am not interested by classroom training from Microsoft Parterns or online training. I am looking for books that can help to get well prepared for the exams.

Have found this two books in Amazon:

1 - MCAD/MCSE/MCDBA Self-Paced Training Kit: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation, Exam 70-229, Second Edition

2- MCSA/MCSE/MCDBA Self-Paced Training Kit: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 System Administration, 70-228, Second Edition

However their rating didn't encourage me to place directly my orders.

Does someone have any experience with them ?

Do you think they will considerably help me to add value to my knowledge of SQL Server and get ready for the exam ?

Do you know some others books you woul rather encourage me to buy ?

Any advice in this regards really appreciated.Transcender
