[AccessD] Charts

Thanks. It looks interesting... if I can get the data link to run smoothly
I'll give it a whirl, and even if I can't manage that, it looks like I have
things to learn about using pivot tables in Excel.

You might explore using pivot charts in Excel. I export the data either
manually or in code to a hidden excel worksheet. The chart does the hard
work. It is very flexible. It is easier to show than explain so I am sending
you an example. HTH Jim Hale

Sorry Stephen, I guess I wasn't clear enough

I have the column headings set in my cross-tab query and that works just
fine. The problem is when I try to base a line graph on that data... I just
can't see a way to do it.

Making an assumption here that you have a Cross-tab Q with the month column
header formatted MM ...

* go to Query Properties, and put something like this in the 'Column
Headings' entry: 1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10;11;12

This will force a column heading for each month.
