reverse axis not working as before...

B

Bruce Bowler

This code "worked" in 2003, but doesn't "work" in 2007...

In this context, "worked" means that in 2003, the X axis for both Y axes
were reversed, as requested. In 2007, only the X axis for the primary Y
axis is reversed, with the X axis for the secondary Y axis remains the
same (but the labels are reversed, so the graph looks odd and is hard/
impossible to interpret properly).

Also, the line marked with <<<<'s throws an error in 2007 but worked in
2003. Any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks!
Bruce
