Correct. The view, if you use an ORDER BY, will be in the correct order and the RECNO() will allow the alternating colors.

Another way if you don't want to use a view is to SQL-SELECT the RECNO()'s from your table into an array property and then you'd do an ASCAN() to find your recno and use the "%2=0" on the index into the array. Versions prior to VFP 9 this limits you to 65,000 records.
