Hello,

I'm writing a VC++ program that displays 3 charts based on an Access database. The 3 charts are one field broken up into seperate groups, based on what type of error info that record contains (there are only 3 relevent types and the chart graphs time over average error). This database is not updated at regular intervals and some groups are updated more frequently than others (I am not saving the data with this report). My problem is that sometimes there are so many records for a group that the Time-axis labels overlap and become unreadable. I thought of 2 posible solutions, but do not know how to implement them in the report or in the code.

1) Have each chart to show only 10 most recent records for that group.

2) Statically show only 4 or 5 y-axis (time-axis) labels.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you!
Evie
