Microsoft Graph 97 Chart

[Ron Hinds]

We've upgraded our app from Access 97 to Access 2003. The app crashes
(compiled version only) whenever a user opens a form containing the
Microsoft Graph 97 Chart control. It works in the uncompiled development
version. I only have Access 2003 on my machine, so I am wondering A) Why
does Microsoft Graph 97 Chart appear in the OLE Class of the control's
Property page; B) Is there an updated version of this control I should be
using (and what is it called?); and C) Do I need to distribute a separate
DLL/OCX with my app for it to work properly? Thanks!

Hi,

Check your project references to find exact file name, something like
mschart.ocx, and it will need to be distributed and registered on target
system. Not sure if mschart.ocx can legally be distributed in your
scenario, it may require Access or Office to be loaded on target system.

It may be time for a 3rd party alternative, if so, check out
www.gigasoft.com or google "charting activex"

I created a graph in Microsoft Office XP Professional (2002 I believe), using
a union query. I now have moved the database to Office Professional 2007.
When I look at the graph in design view everything is fine. When I switch to
form view, the window around the graph is present but no graph. If I click
on the window, the graph appears as seen in design view. How can I make the
graph load properly? Appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Arnold

I think I found what the problem is. In Design View, the graph is identified
as a previous version (in my case, 97). You need to remove that graph, then
add it again using the version that is included in the current version (in
your case 2007). You do this with Insert | Object | and choose Microsoft
Graph Chart.

I couldn't get that to work. I'm going to try a different heading. Thanks
for trying.

Hey well I've got another one for you to try. That didn't work for me either
so I was looking at the properties of my Graph Control and guess what? The
Class (under the data tab) still said Microsoft.Chart.8! So, it was still
trying to use the A97 version! I just changed it to 11 (2003) and will be
testing that shortly. I assume 2007 will be version 12?
