Using FP2002 the Results Wizard reports database information in a tabular
format.

I am trying to use Frontpage 2002 SP3 to create an online poll, save the
results to an Access database, and displaying those results on a webpage
using the Results Wizard (I don't have access to MS Access).

However, I would like to display the results using a "pie chart" and "bar
graph" or other graphic displays typical of that found in Excel. The Results
Wizard seems very table-based.

Is there any way to create more "graphical" displays of database data in
Frontpage?

Secondly (2 for 1!) , if FP we upgrade to FP2003 I've seen a documention
stating that Windows Sharepoint Services does not support Access .mdb
files...but then goes on to show how to create one for saving Form
information. What? Why would I do that if the server didn't support it? Does
that mean that I would need to use another database format (or a whole new
methodolgy) to accomplish the above if my web is on a server that supports
FP2003 features, and not FP2002? Very confusing stuff, Maynard.

The DRW can't create pie charts or other graphical output. For that sort of
thing, you generally have to write your own ASP or ASP.NET code. You may also
need to purchase a 3rd-party graphics library.

If your Web server runs Windows SharePoint Services, then yes, any ASP,
ASP.NET, or Access database pages you have now won't work on that server.
Instead, you would use the database services that come with WSS.

However, FP2003 works perfectly well with server running the FP2002 and
earlier server extensions, and that's how you'd keep your existing
ASP/ASP.NET/Access applications working.

Right click the pic, go to picture properties, appearance, wrap style,
select left.

Otherwise, use suggestions from the previous replies. (Tables are better
IMHO).

Thanks Jim, it wasn't the answer I wanted -- but the answer I expected.
