Charting question (axis values)

I have a question regarding a Business Objects chart. We are using BusinessObjects Ver: 5.1.2 and are having problems with the graph axis. In the Axis Label Format window the Minimum, Maximum & Major Unit Boxes are all checked for Auto under the Value Axis Scale and the Decimal Box is selected under Scale. When you view the graph, the top value displayed is 7400 but the actual highest value is 7600 (thus you cannot see the 7600 in the graph). Since the values are always changing (with the reports constantly being refreshed), we can not set the values to a constant.
Is there any solution to this or is that just the way it is?
 
Have you right clicked on Placeholders around the graph object and gone into the Format Chart properties to resize to fit in the placeholder.
Once into the Format Chart Properties
General Tab
Put a tick into Adjust plot area to chart size
AND
adjust scale to value range.
The "adjust scale" option will resize each graph according to its maximum value on the axis, rather than al have the same Axis range.

If you don't do this, the software does not autoresize the chart within the placeholders.
