>I have built a VFP6 EXE that I am running on Win98SE with no VFP and no MSOffice. I am trying to update my msgraph graph using APPEND GENERAL...DATA, but it doesn't work. I don't receive an error, but the graph data doesn't get updated.

I believe when you do an append general you need to specify the class as in:

APPEND GENERAL msgraph DATA lcGraphData CLASS 'msgraph.chart'

If you don't specify the class I don't think it will work. Also if the class doesn't exists on that system, as in your case, the append won't work. One more thing I found in the hackers guide was this:

"It's a little-known fact that APPEND GENERAL FieldName with no further arguments erases the data contained inside the general field."
