Hi Cetin,


>>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 ?


>Excel charting might be faster or similar to MSGraph speedwise. However I found it to be much more stable. Have a richer set (both for coder and enduser). Doesn't need a general field. Virtually you could make any MSGraph code to work with Excel but the reverse is suspect. It has spreadsheet, pivot etc support behind it :) Using VFP7 and later's object browser you could code with Excel much more easier.

I did read a sample chapter of Marcia Akins, and did come to the conclusion that automating Excel might be the way to go, esspecially since I want the graph to be included in Crystal Reports.

>PS: I posted (a long) code to demonstrate MSChart interface. If you didn't see it I could find and point the message id.

I know, I saw it and played with it. It became appearant that I needed to code a lot to provide a user interface.

Thanks,

Walter,
