Can someone tell me why, in the code below, that the row background color wont "take"?
Dim styDef As ObjectId = ObjectId.Null

Dim headerStyleName As String = "Weird"
Dim textStyleName As String = "Arial"
Dim titleSize As Double = 0.2
Dim headerSize as Double = 0.15
Dim textSize As Double = 0.1
Dim textColor As Color = Color.FromColorIndex(ColorMethod.ByAci, CShort(7))
Dim frameColor As Color = Color.FromColorIndex(ColorMethod.ByAci, CShort(4))
Dim backColor As Color = Color.FromColorIndex(ColorMethod.ByAci, CShort(2)
