Hi Allen.

Provided you have a seed graph that you can modify, code like this should work to modify the graph:

   SELECT GraphDat 
   cGraphString = "" 

 * Build tab-delimited string of field names: 

   FOR iCounter = 1 TO FCOUNT("GraphDat")
       IF UPPER(ALLTRIM(FIELD(iCounter))) <> "REGN_CD" THEN
          cGraphString = cGraphString  + FIELDS(iCounter) ; 
                       + IIF(iCounter < FCOUNT("GraphDat"),CHR(9),chr(13)) 
       ENDIF
   ENDFOR 

 * Concatenate the data, converting numeric fields to character: 

   SCAN 
      FOR iCounter = 1 TO FCOUNT("GraphDat")
          IF UPPER(ALLTRIM(FIELD(iCounter))) <> "REGN_CD" THEN
             cGraphString = cGraphString  + IIF(TYPE(Fields(iCounter))='C',; 
                            EVALUATE(FIELDS(iCounter)) ; 
                           ,str(EVALUATE(FIELDS(iCounter)),16,2); 
                                ); 
                          + IIF(iCounter < FCOUNT("GraphDat"),CHR(9),CHR(13)) 
          ENDIF
      ENDFOR 
   ENDSCAN 
   SELECT Graph 
   APPEND GENERAL Graph DATA cGraphString 
   UNLOCK

Graphdat, obviously, contains the data necessary to modify the graph.
