I have no idea what the answer to your question is, but a possibility,
pointed out to me by Steve Santos a little while ago, is to download the
following app from the MS site. It shows, I believe, sample chart
manipulation in Access and may have the answer to your question (watch
for wrap):

Alternatively, if the above link is broken in your news reader, try

If this does not help you, what I've found very useful in the past when
trying to manipulate various properties of the graph has been to open
EXcel. Start recording an Excel macro and go through the setting up of
your graph, including where the intecept point is.

Save the macro and then look at the VBA editor for the macro. There are
sometimes still some soggy ground that has to be traversed - the object
browser can be an enormous help here - but it at least gives you a
starting point.

Sorry I don't have a direct answer to your question, but if you don't
get a response, try the above two ideas.

Ahh... another question that I can't really answer, but can possibly
help.... and obviously blow off a little more work... woo hooo....

Here's a GREAT link for you to help you in your search for MS Graph
help...
(this is actually for 97, but, you can find later versions from there)

BUT....

If you know what you want to do, and you can do it in Excel, do like
Tim Marshall said...
1) Export data to excel
2) Record a macro to do what you want
3) convert macro into a string (really, it's not that hard)
4) Run macro after exporting information from Access!

i.e... here's a quickie for you, to learn how to do what I just said...
(copy and paste into a module and watch it do it's THING! :D )

Private Sub ExcelTest()
Dim XLS As Object, Wkb As Object, strCode As String
Dim X As Integer, Y As Integer, Z As Integer
'XLS is our application object
Set XLS = CreateObject("E xcel.Applicatio n")
XLS.Application .Visible = True
XLS.Application .workbooks.Add
'Wkb is our worksheet object
Set Wkb = XLS.Application .activeworkbook .worksheets(1)

'Fill our worksheet with some information
X = 0
For X = 1 To 10
For Y = 1 To 10
Z = Y * X
Wkb.cells(X, Y) = Z
Next Y
Next X

'Now make the macro
strCode = "Sub MakeChart()" & vbcrlf & _
" Charts.Add" & vbcrlf & _
" ActiveChart.Cha rtType = xlColumnCluster ed" & vbcrlf & _
" ActiveChart.Set SourceData Source:=Sheets( " & Chr(34) & "Sheet1" &
Chr(34) & ").Range(" & Chr(34) & "A1:J10" & Chr(34) & "),
PlotBy:=xlRows" & vbcrlf & _
" ActiveChart.Loc ation Where:=xlLocati onAsNewSheet, Name:=" &
Chr(34) & "Tada!" & Chr(34) & vbcrlf & _
" With ActiveChart" & vbcrlf & _
" .HasTitle = True" & vbcrlf & _
" .ChartTitle.Cha racters.Text = " & Chr(34) & "Tada!" & Chr(34)
& vbcrlf & _
" .Axes(xlCategor y, xlPrimary).HasT itle = False" & vbcrlf & _
" .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasT itle = False" & vbcrlf & _
" End With" & vbcrlf & _
"End Sub"
'Add the macro to the workbook
XLS.activeworkb ook.VBProject.V BComponents.Ite m(1).CodeModule .AddFromString
strCode
'Run the macro! :D
XLS.Application .Run "Thisworkbook.M akeChart"

End Sub
(I've been dieing to show taht to someone :D )
