Hi -

I am trying to create a report using the chart wizard. I can't even begin to get close to what I want to display. It seems like it should be fairly simple, but I can't get it to work.

What I want to do is create a chart that displays the totals of 4 fields using bar like images (??). It should list those values against the total number of records in the table/query.

Any suggestions on what wizard I should use? I can't seem to even get close to getting this correct.

Thanks, Beth
 
WOW!
Hi Beth;
I am JUST leaving work in Madison WI (USA) and will return tomorrow (Sunday, 10/14). I can definitely help, as I have developed several apps using MSGraph & MSChart - depends on whether you are using ActiveX or not. But I REALLY wanna get gone right now! Briefly, the wizard in the MSGraph tool allows more flexibility in design, but MSChart (add-in on toolbox) allows us more control via (ADO) code, but the end result is not as "pretty". If you get this in a timely fashion (like tonight, Sat. 10/13), e-mail me at work: gkent@crinet.com , and I will respond at length Sunday AM, 10/14. Not knowing where you are, it is important to note that I am a rabid football fan, and MY Green Bay Packers are playing Sunday at noon, and I REFUSE to work after the kickoff!! Let me know if you still need help....
