Access and Excel Charts...

My preference is to automate Access data to Excel and use an Excel Chart
instead of using an Access Chart.

But...I'm willing to see if I might be incorrect.

Thoughts on this please.

TIA - Bob

A very wise Access user once made this very insightful comment to me:
"The software that creates charts in Access and Excel is identical, but the
wizard in Access is dumb as a sack of bricks".
I have been using Access for over 10 years, through 4 different versions and
if I need a report with a chart, I export to Excel.
