Chart embedded in a form looks blank in print preview

I embedded a chart in a form (with chart wizard) - it looks ok in form view,
but when I do a print preview, the form looks good except the chart: it is
blank! There is a blank and empty square on my printed page instead of the
chart..
How can I fix that?
Many thanks

When you print a form the detail section repeats once per underlying record
of the form's RecordSource. Your form has no RecordSource and thus you get
no detail section.

Move your chart to the form header or footer. Better yet use a report for
printing. There are numerous limitations when printing forms.

Thanks for your help. Actually, I built a report, linked to my form, to view
the charts - the pb is that it gives me all charts corresponding to all the
records of my form. How can I just view the chart corresponding to the record
I'm working on?
Sorry it is very basic for you, I'm still a beginner.
