>I have a foxpro com server set up that returns html and is used in an asp file. I currently made 100 pie charts (yes one for every percent) and in the returned html i show the correct one. is there a way from a fox com server to create a graph or pie chart on the fly and save it to disk as a transparent gif? Does the autograph in the foundation classes allow this? I havn't figure how to programmatically call it yet though.

Instead of creating the charts on the server and serving them as gifs, you might want to look at the MSChart ActiveX cotrol. It's fairly easy to imbed in a page, and has a bunch of options for data display.
I put up a sample of how to use it at
this address.Otherwise, you might look at automating Excel to do this. Excel 2000 (and maybe earlier versions, I don't know) allows you to save a page as HTML, and when you do, it creates a jpg file for each chart on the page.
