Graphs

[Malc Payne]

Although i've used Access for years, i have never tried to embed a graph in a
report. I am trying now with 2003 and getting very confused! All I want is a
simple bar chart showing sales values for about 10 different product types. I
have the query and want it shown in graphical form with a different colour
for each product type. It must be easy, but I can't work it out. Any simple
tips?

How far have you gotten? Do you have a query created that creates your
values to graph?
Is the graph the only object on the report or are there other records?
Have you tried the report graph wizard?
Have you tried dropping a graph/chart control on your report?

Thanks for getting back to me, in answer to your questions: -

Yes I have a dead simple query with the values that I want represented.
The graph will be the only object on the report apart from some simple
headings.
I found the report graph wizard less than helpful.
Not sure what is meant by 'dropping a graph/chart control on my report'

Thanks Rick, I'll go and try this. Does the wizard work with charts in forms?
