Thanks Anton - I am off to that link now.

On the Java chart - instead of a double click - a right click opens the dialog.

I know MSCHart has a twips feature - but I don't know how that could be mapped to a seriies value.

I needed to use Windows Messaging for some stuff - finally got VFP 9 - and I cant wait.
Thanks for the link

PS

That Java CHart was pretty cool - huh! Wow!

It has methods to convert screen coordinates to chart coordinates and vise versa. And I also use event handlers to coordinate chart cursor with VFP grid active record and vise versa.
