You can do this two ways:
1. Put two sets of oval shapes into header, one with shades another w/o and use Print When to print one of them based on user choice. I would recomend that you try this first.
2. Hack Frx file. Open a temporary copy of the Frx file as a table and change properties of the shape objects. If you want to go this way there is some poiners:
- The article "Demystifying Visual FoxPro Report Files" by John Koziol in August 2000 issue of FoxTalk that explains frx structure.

>In my report I have drawn some oval shapes in a couple of header bands. They are shaded. I would like to give the user the option to pick shaded or non-shaded headings at runtime. I know I can create a second copy of the report and unshade them in there, but I prefer not to do this. I don't want to have to maintain two copies of the report.
