' -- Display green-bar type color banding in detail rows
' -- Call from BackGroundColor property of all detail row textboxes
' -- Set Toggle True for first item, False for others.
'*************************************************************************
Function AlternateColor(ByVal OddColor As String, _
		 ByVal EvenColor As String, ByVal Toggle As Boolean) As String
	If Toggle Then bOddRow = Not bOddRow
	If bOddRow Then
		Return OddColor
	Else
		Return EvenColor
	End If
End Function
