I asked this similar question a few days ago but received no response. Is
there a way to change the properties when you’re using an AutoFormat for a
report? I tried unsuccessfully to change the height of my alternating
background when I used an AutoFormat (I’m using Access 2007). Is this the
“rule”? I’m about to create several end-of-the-month reports that I plan to
pull each month and thought I’d ask before I started. I’m also welcome to
any suggestions about AutoFormat vs. designing your own report.

I don't use such things as AutoFormat or report wizards
because they are too limited.

Everything that can be done with a report can be done in
design view.

The height of your alternating colors is the height of the
detail section. In design view you can adjust the height of
individual controls (text box, etc) and the height of the
sections (Detail, etc) to get the specific height you want.
