Hi Cetin,

I do appreciate your message.

>-MSgraph existence doesn't guarantee Excel or office existence.

But the, if Excell is installed, MS graph is installed right ?

>-MSgraph object models are different between versions. Your code might fail to work with a higher (or lower) version.

Thanks for that warning. Do you've got information about which versions are incompatible ?

>-Uninstalling office might render your code useless (somewhere in KB, hard to fix).

That is unlikely going to happen. The charting is optional and certainly not required.

>-Sloooow

I've tested some examples available here, it does to seem to be right for what I'm doing. (not a lot of data, typically just beneath 100 values to chart on.

>If you think users who need it would have Excel than I suggest to directly use Excel instead.

>PS: Give a chance to MSChart or OWC.chart :)

For what I'm trying to do flexibility and a complete user interface to control the chart is the single and most important thing. From what I understand, you've to write a great deal of code to provide this with MS chart. Also, MS chart seems to be discontinued, since 1999.

I don't know OWC.Chart. Does it provide a rich user interface to control the cart objects ?

Controlling Excell might be an option, but since the excell chart and MS graph are very simular (and for the big part have the same object model), is it going to be faster than MS graph ? If not, what advantage does it have ?

Walter,
