[AccessD] Excel Graphs from Access Data - Ideas, Please

Hi Marty,

This sounds like a very good thought, too.  The cost of the software is 
a stumbling block for me, and, I suspect, for my client, too. 

It's a small firm - I'm even smaller, of course.  However, exploring 
this idea is well worth my effort. 

Thanks for the thought,
Tina
