>I would like to display some results stored in a small VFP dbf as a simple barchart on a form. I am not clear what the recommended procedure is to do this most seamlessly. The VFP documentation refers to _gengraph and then there is the activex ExcelChart possibility. Anyone out there know the easiest way? Thank you.

Denis,
-Excel check Thread #388128 Message #389318 for a sample wrapper.
-MSGraph and Excel automation && similar
They're slow.
-MS Chart activex ( Check Thread #570325 Message #570338 ) && My pick
-Office Web Components (OWC) && Check MSDN online and west-wind site for samples.
