>Is there a VCX or OCX (free) that I can use to generate graphics. I do not like MSGRAPH, I can not make it work.
Hi,

MSGraph is not very robust, and it is impossible to manipulate certain items. I recently completed a huge project involoving more than 500 graphs. I used Excel as an ole server object. This worked exceptionally well. The performance was a little slow, but was not an issue because the graphs were printed quarterly.

I used VB syntax from VFP to requery external data in Excel through ODBC. After the data wa refreshed, I printed the graphs from the Excel server object. It looked like VFP was printing the graphs to the user. Works like a charm. Send me some email if you would like to see some sample code.
