Stuart, Thanks for the help with this question. My initial tests with Imagemagick have gone well. I think that this tool will work nicely for the automatic trimming that I would like to do. Thanks again... I owe you another beer !

An example from: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/crop/#crop convert rose: -crop 40x30+10+10 +repage repage.gif Note, you don't need the full ImageMagik installation on a target machine to do this sort of image manipulation. You just need two files of its files - convert.exe and vcomp100.dll. -- Stuart On 29 May 2012 at 9:55, Brad Marks wrote: > All, > > I am working on an Access application that uses Excel (via automation) > to create a number of Charts (half-circle gauges) that are included on > an Access report as jpg files. > > Excel does a nice job of generating the gauges, but they are generated > with too much space around the gauge.
