How do I upgrade from MS Graph 8 to MS Graph 10?

[Kristie Najemnik]

I inherited an Access database with a report that doesn't show its chart.
For the graph, it uses an OLE object with properties of OLE Class =
Microsoft Graph 97 Chart and Class = MSGraph.Chart.8. With Access 2002,
under References, I do see Microsoft Graph 10.0 Object Library, but no
Microsoft Graph 8.

Any idea what I need to do to have the charts display?

It looks like I may have to upgrade to MS Graph 10, but does that mean
recreating the charts from scratch? Actually there are 20 charts like this,
so I'm looking for the quickest fix to whatever the problem is.

Thanks

Hi Kristie,

Try creating a new report in design view, and then click on Insert >
Chart... and follow the prompts to insert a chart with any kind of data. When
you look at the chart properties in report design view on your computer, what
do the OLE Class and Class properties reveal?

I just tried this on my PC, which has Office XP (Access 2002). However, my
PC also has Access 97 on it, so it's likely that I still have other Office 97
components as well. I get the following after inserting a brand new chart:

OLE Class: Microsoft Graph Chart
Class: MSGraph.Chart.8

What happens if you try changing the OLE Class from "Microsoft Graph 97
Chart" to "Microsoft Graph Chart" on an existing report? You might also try
changing the Class to either MSGraph.Chart.9 or MSGraph.Chart.10.

Tom
