Graphs work on one computer - not another.

[jbailey268]

The graphical stuff works on my developmnet machine but not on a another workstation.
Code is someting like this. I borrowed much of it from the "exporting to graphs" which shows sales per quarter etc.

USE tmpgrph3

INSERT INTO <table>VALUES(curSales0.cDescript,tmpgrph3.GRAPH,m.cDetails) && similar to the sample
APPEND GENERAL prodsales.Sales DATA m.cData && again similar to the sample
THISFORM.oleGraph.VISIBLE = .T.
THISFORM.oleGraph.REFRESH()
This, I know is very general but it works great on one computer. Why not another. The one where it fails just shows the old stagnent graphical image in the general field every time - it does not seem to get updated. Again on my development computer it works. Perhaps the install shield didn't load everything the application executable needs on the remote computers. It that possible? Does it need a 3rd party graphical tool I'm unaware of?

Yes, you need to include the graph ocx with your installation program.

Read up on how to insure ActiveX controls get installed on target machines via install-sheild.

You are mistaken. The code posted is used to update a graph created using MSGraph, not MsChart.ocx.

Is MS Office installed on the computer where the graph DOES get updated?

Thank you much for the tip. Busy day. I haven't tried it yet. But will let you know what I get.

Thanks for the timely response.

Marcia:

You are correct. I used the term graph ocx generically and
assumed that some graphic activex was missing.

Hi Darrell.

assumed that some graphic activex

No activeX control required for MsGraph ;-)

I did notice that MSgraph9.exe is on the computer where the graphing works. And on the one where it fails MSGraph9.exe is not there. Excel and Word are on there? Gee, why wouldn't the installer put the whole suite including MDGraph on the computer.

Can I just copy MSGraph9.exe on the computer or are there other things (supporting libraries dll's etc) that have to be installed?

What you should do is re-install Microsoft Office on the computer that is missing MsGraph. Make sure that Microsoft Graph (under Office Tools in the setup wizard) is selected for installation.
