Prevent chart load on form open?

Is there a parameter somewhere that would prevent a chart from loading when
the form in which it is embedded opens? My chart is loading with no
criteria, so it's loading all the data there is, and is confusing the user.
Normally I solve this by linking it with a control on the form which, at
open, is empty, so there are no rows returned. But I'm having problems with
that in this chart, so I was hoping there was another way. (See "Problems
referencing a field in a query" if you're curious about that other problem.
 
Laurel,
Try just making the Chart invisible. You could place a button on the
form, and disable it. When you have sufficient data for the chart to
process, you could Enable the button and a click would make the chart
visible.
Lot's of ways to do it... this is just one suggestion...
 
Clever idea. Thanks.
