Ok, let's assume the user's do have Excel. Do you have
examples of using the Excel tools, keeping Excel hidden
and displaying the graph results in a VFP form?

You could use MSGRaph and MSChart activex. But I think like Cindy. If they don't have Excel and asking for you to apply graphics, it should be your right to ask them for Excel. On the long run it performs better.
