[AccessD] MS Graph - Change Chart Title by Automation?

Here is something I did in an older access 97 database to programically
change the axis of a graph. Might give you a place to start.

Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Dim Db As Database, rs As Recordset
Dim i As Integer, intCnt As Integer, ChartName As String
Dim rpt As Report, FinalDate As Date

Set Db = CurrentDb()
'add 7 days to todays date
FinalDate = Date + 7
Set rpt = Reports("Section 6 West and Section 1 East")
'Count the number of controls
intCnt = rpt.Count
    
For i = 0 To intCnt - 1
    Select Case rpt(i).ControlType
            Case acLabel
            Case acRectangle
            Case acLine
            Case acImage
            Case acCommandButton
            Case acOptionButton
            Case acCheckBox
            Case acOptionGroup
            Case acBoundObjectFrame
            Case acTextBox
            Case acListBox
            Case acComboBox
            Case acSubform
            Case acObjectFrame
                'Stop
                If rpt(i).OLEClass = "Microsoft Graph 97 Chart" Then
                    ChartName = rpt(i).Name
 
rpt.Controls(ChartName).Object.Application.Chart.Axes(1).MaximumScale =
FinalDate
                End If
            Case acPageBreak
            Case acPage
            Case acCustomControl
            Case acToggleButton
            Case acTabCtl
            Case Else
                'Stop
                If rpt(i).OLEClass = "Microsoft Graph 97 Chart" Then
                    ChartName = rpt(i).Name
 
rpt.Controls(ChartName).Object.Application.Chart.Axes(1).MaximumScale =
FinalDate
                End If
    End Select
NoChart:
Next i

End Sub

Subject: [AccessD] MS Graph - Change Chart Title by Automation?


Struggling for hours . . .

 

I have an MS Graph 10 chart in an unbound object frame in a report.  I
also have the rowsource query correct.  

 

But when the report is opened to display the chart, I need to change the
.Text property of the .ChartTitle.

 

The unbound object frame is named graChart.

 

I thought that something like this would work:

 

    Dim gra As Object

 

    Set gra = GetObject(, "MSGraph.Chart.10")

        

    '-- I need something like: _

        gra.ChartTitle.Text = "Different Chart Title"

 

 

I know this is an automation issue, and I'm trying to manipulate an
object which is in an unbound object frame.

 

Can anyone send me an example of how you do this?

 

 

Thanks!

Dan Waters
