Don,

At this time I'm working with a module to produce monthly an automated report with some graphs and data taken from diferent sources. You can see the report (not terminated) at http://www.esenios.org/reporte.pdf. Despite it is in spanish, I think it shows the general idea, but if you consider convinient, feel free to question me about it.

I'm using a product called csXGraph.ocx that is available at www.chestysoft.com. However, if you need to produce more complex graphs a very good product is the TeeChart available at www.steema.com (very nice graphs!)

Actually, I don't recomend to automate Excel to produce tha graph. It could be hard to achive, and in a concurrent scenario, very difficult to control the different versions of Excel.

Saludos cordiales,

Enrique

Some of my reports will display data directly from the table, but others will show data which is computed via various UDF's. The graphing wizard seems to be designed to handle the former but not the latter.
