I have used TeeChart for Access Charts, they have a similar control for

TeeChart for .NET v1 Lite and Pro versions

>Charlotte - I am surprised by how *many* 3rd party tools you use - why do you use them for things like tabs, combos, date/time controls, text boxes? And is that something you would revisit with the new .net or have you gone that way because the new .net is buggy or ??? Are there some that you would particularly recommend?
