Pie Chart Labels

[Robert_DubYa]

I would like to label each section of my pie chart with the data the section
represents (ie: each piece of the pie labeled). I can create a legend that
sits on the right just fine, but one of the people I'm creating this for is
color blind. This also poses a problem when printing in B&W. Any suggestion
would be apperciated.

I suggest using the Excel charting ability. Access uses the same engine, but
Excel's implementation is better. You can easily export the data to an Excel
range which will be the datasource of your chart. Add the chart in Excel,
then right-click and choose Chart Type.

From the dialog that comes up, click on the Custom tab and choose B&W Pie

You will get a patterned Pie chart that is easily readable by the color
blind.
