If this is an intranet project where you can specify IE 4 or 5 as a browser, there are built-in behaviors for pie charts, that you can access with Javascript and DHTML. Check out the MSDN info on IE, or get a good book, such as Professional IE Programming: <A HREF="

If you need to support netscape also, I would suggest searching for a java applet. I'm sure there are a few that produce pie charts dynamically. Try the Java forum here.<br>

Otherwise, you might try something server-side, with ASP, Cold Fusion or PHP, but there will be a big learning curve.
