DataBase Graphs in VB6?

[UKalliance]

Hi there,

I have a question, but I am not too sure whether it is possible or not. I have created a Access database using Visual Data Manager and now want to be able to add a chart and then as I add new records to the database through the VB appication it will update the graph. I know that this is possible through Excel, but can it be done in Access? And if so how? ________________________________________

You need to use a graph ocx (or do a lot of typing). This will display the current state of the table(s). Peter Meachem

OK, I'm a newbie to this malarkie, so how do I create and use a graph OCX. Am I right in understanding that an OCX is an Active Control?

And if so, how do I create a graph OCX? ________________________________________

Add the built in chart component MS Chart. And then read the help file. There are lots of examples. Peter Meachem

I don't seem to have a component MS Chart in my list.
