Beth,

I have used both MSChart and MSGraph.

Here's what I do when I open a form which has an OLE control that uses MSGraph:

#DEFINE xlPie 5
#DEFINE xlDataLabelsShowNone -4142

CREATE TABLE SIZEGRAPH FREE (genAsset g)
APPEND BLANK
APPEND GENERAL genAsset CLASS "MSGraph.Chart" DATA lcGData

WITH THISFORM
.olbCurrentSize.CONTROLSOURCE = "SIZEGRAPH.genAsset"
.olbCurrentSize.HasLegend = .T.
.olbCurrentSize.Autoformat(xlPie,7)
.olbCurrentSize.ApplyDataLabels(xlDataLabelsShowNone)
ENDWITH

I always recreate my graphs when I open the form. I also wait until after I have set up the graph before I make the OLE control visible. The Autoformat line tells the control to show the chart as a pie chart.
