expression.FillColor
expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.
Remarks
The FillColor property contains a numeric expression that specifies the fill color for all boxes and circles.
You can set this property only by using a macro or a Visual Basic event procedure specified by a section's OnPrint event property.
You can use the RGB or QBColor functions to set this property. The FillColor property setting has a data type of Long.
Example
The following example uses the Circle method to draw a circle and create a pie slice within the circle. Then it uses the FillColor and FillStyle properties to color the pie slice red. It also draws a line from the upper left to the center of the circle.
To try this example in Microsoft Access, create a new report. Set the OnPrint property of the Detail section to [Event Procedure]. Enter the following code in the report's module, then switch to Print Preview.
Private Sub Detail_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)

Dim sngRadius As Single

sngHCtr = Me.ScaleWidth / 2 ' Horizontal center.
sngVCtr = Me.ScaleHeight / 2 ' Vertical center.
sngRadius = Me.ScaleHeight / 3 ' Circle radius.
Me.Circle (sngHCtr, sngVCtr), sngRadius ' Draw circle.
sngStart = -0.00000001 ' Start of pie slice.
sngEnd = -2 * conPI / 3 ' End of pie slice.
Me.FillColor = RGB(255, 0, 0) ' Color pie slice red.
Me.FillStyle = 0 ' Fill pie slice.
' Draw Pie slice within circle
Me.Circle (sngHCtr, sngVCtr), sngRadius, , sngStart, sngEnd
' Draw line to center of circle.
Dim intColor As Integer
Dim sngTop As Single, sngLeft As Single
Dim sngWidth As Single, sngHeight As Single
Me.ScaleMode = 3 ' Set scale to pixels.
sngTop = Me.ScaleTop ' Top inside edge.
sngLeft = Me.ScaleLeft ' Left inside edge.
sngWidth = Me.ScaleWidth / 2 ' Width inside edge.
sngHeight = Me.ScaleHeight / 2 ' Height inside edge.
intColor = RGB(255, 0, 0) ' Make color red.
' Draw line.
Me.Line (sngTop, sngLeft)-(sngWidth, sngHeight), intColor
