Hi Matt and Abdul (short for your name, right ?),
Matt, Abdul replied to correct person and you were CCed (as this message CCed to me). He's talking about help files I told you - I did, didn't I ? - (vba_grp.hlp and vbagrp8.hlp).
Abdul no extra place for object model. I'm not sure for vba_grp.hlp but in vbagrp8.hlp :
Plotby - Applies to -> Application object (same as datasheet). So from VFP with having chart object we refer to its application object and syntax becomes :
mygraph.application.plotby, "object" keyword comes from VFP (see "object" help) to access OLE server PEM of OLE object (what a definition) :
OLEObject.Object[.Property] [= eValue]
– Or –
OLEObject.Object[.Method]
So the final syntax : mygraph.object.application.plotby. SAme applied to datasheet (mygraph.object.application.datasheet.cells(nRow,nCol)).
BTW "object" has a wider explanation on online doc. From my point of view whenever I got into trouble with activeX I add an "object" keyword (activex might have fontname property and VFP knows that poperty very well, to distinguish you're referring to activex's fontname you add "object").
