Charting Software for MS Access

I have a variety of info in Access and would prefer to keep it in this if possible, however I find the graphing/charting functionality really limiting.

Does anyone know of any products I can 'plug-in' to Access to improve the charting functionality?

I'll give my second favourite forum a second plug tonight.

Woody's Lounge is a very good resource- and there are some especially good contributos in the Access forum. (Sponsored by Woody Leonhard who has written a number of books on MS products)

I think it's a good resource.

My only caution- it's mostly US based, with some English an European support- so don't expect an immediate response, and check for US holidays.

There's Aussie contributors, but the best ones in Access are from US, UK and the Netherlands.
 
Alan,

The graph object used by Access is extremely poorly documented. I have written graphing apps in Access but it's always a struggle trying to make the graph object do what you want. I have stumbled upon some of the ways to use the graph object by reading similar help files (eg Excel graphing object model help file) but it's not exactly the same.

Unless you are a hard core programmer, save yourself heaps of time and headaches, and get GR-FX (Australian authored shareware for graphing Access databases)
