Some time after writing yesterday's extravaganza, I wondered whether it would be possible to define the background colour of a report header column by using the 'design report' functionality. Assuming that a report (or the procedure calling it) appears on a menu, one right clicks on the appropriate option and chooses the 'design report' option from the pop-up menu. A document design will be created if the report/procedure does not have a previously created design.
One then clicks on the appropriate report and then right clicks on the appropriate column. From the pop-up menu, one chooses the title attributes option. A dialog box appears where one can choose various options: one clicks on the 'paint can' button, causing another dialog box to open, from which one can choose the desired colour. One repeats this process for all the fields whose background colour one wishes to choose.
This is the user's method, whereas yesterday I documented the programmer's method.
