Hi David
MSChart is registered on both pc's under HKEY_CLASSES_Root.
entries: mschart20lib,mschart
entries: mschart20lib,mschart,2

Marcia Akins just had an idea that sounds right-on. I do not have ms Office on this notebook pc & she says she thinks with vfp7 there's problems distributing msGraph without having ms Office installed.

Thanks for your help.
Bill
