I think I will make a special setup using VFP 5 for installing MS GRAPH runtime.
I need free graph for developing and distributin, not a commecical one.

>1. I tried to use msgraph with VFP6 with a half success (on my coputer works on my customers computers sometimes). Next I tried to use included in VS MS Chart (again half success - 3D pie chart doesn't work properly). So I started looking for something that simply works. Now I evaluate teechart - popular component in Delphi world ( www.steema.com ). It is better (IMO) than MS products and it is less expensive that other controls. Now the firm offers free licence for teechart strings translators. As I know, it is not translated to estonian langauage. Look at it and maybe you will like it.

>>>In VFP7 is one sentence explantion why MS Graph is not in VFP7 box - for me it doesn't explain anything. Many people are using charting. I am suprised that MS that have a few graphic libraries doesn't clear indicate what to use with VFP7.
>>>For me it is important for planning of future versions of my apps. When VFP7 was in VFP7 one can use also MS Chart that comes with VB. Now ???
