[AccessD] Access Charts (Graphing) and resolution issue

Hello all,

I have an issue.  I spent hours getting my graphs to work properly on
these reports.  I seem to have hit yet another snag with the chart
object.  I have my resolution set to 1024 x 768 and my users are usually
on 800 x 600.  I take into account when developing to make sure the
screens fit on a 800 x 600 screen.  I didn't do testing on my graphs
using a standard users computer because I didn't even think this would
be an issue.  What is happening is that the graphs are getting chopped
off at the Right hand side on a users machine where they are not on my
machine.  

Just to test my theory that it had to be the resolution I reduced mine,
and it happened to me as well.  I am certain it has to do with the
resolution set on each machine.  

Has anyone ever encountered this, or have any idea on how to overcome
it.  The graphs are somewhat complex in the fashion that I have to
populate temp tables because the aggregation will not happen all at once
in a query, and most of the graphs are trend style over a month or even
yearly so they are usually wide.  

Thanks in advance
Rich
