>>I am currently considering Graphics Server as a graphing solution for my VFP apps. I am looking for some insight from anyone who has used/is using Graphics Server with VFP, or any platform for that matter. Things I would like to know are:
>>
>>1. How well does it integrate with VFP
>>2. How big is the learning curve
>>3. How robust is the functionality and graphing types
>>
>>Any other information is also greatly appreciated including better alternatives to Graphics Server. All input greatly appreciated. TIA

>Colin,
>I used Graphics Server as the graphing engine for a project. Overall I was very pleased with it and their tech support was great. The only problem is printing the graphs. Graphics Server wants to print the graph itself and it wants a printer device-context. I ended up creating an ActiveX control in VB that exposed VB's printer object.

Hi Mike,
Thanks very much for the info. Articles I've been reading suggest that it is the best graphing solution available and is up to version 5.4 now. Could you tell me what version of Graphics Server you used for your project? Just curious as to whether the printing issue still exists. Thanx again.
