John,

>Has anyone done any trend graphing of data? I'm still trying to come up with a way to display the uptime of equipment...

Assuming you can query your data to result in a table or cursor with each record containing a "data point" to be graphed, it should be simple to do using the Graph foundation class.

Open the Component Gallery, click Foundation Classes, then Automation, then right-click on Graph and choose Help. That will get you to the only help available in the VFP Help file.

When you drag the Graph class onto a form, it will open a builder that allows you to set certain properties, and you're off and running.
