1. Add a text box to your report, and set these properties:
Control Source: =1
Running Sum: Over Group
Visible: No
Name: txtCount
Format: General Number

2. Add another text box to the report.
Make it the entire size of the (Detail?) section.
Place it behind the other controls: Format | Send To Back.

3. With this box selected, choose Conditional Formatting on the Format menu.
Set the conditional formatting to:
Expression ([txtCount] Mod 2) = 1
and choose the color you want from the bucket.
