Doesn't anyone care about scatter charts??

[DFS]

I posted this question yesterday, and nothing but silence.

I looked through cdma in Google, and it seems whenever someone posts
questions about scatter charts, they get ignored.

So, hopefully, this time, someone will have some brilliant response to
share.

Starting with the Chart Wizard, I can't get the Access scatter chart to
place the data points correctly, ie at the intersection of their XY
position. They only plot along the Y axis.

Is this a known bug, or is it something I'm doing?

Thanks

Thanks for that. It's very informative.

Now what about the subject?

And, FYI, I've posted many hundreds of 'MS Technical Support' responses to
cdma through the years, even though I wasn't getting paid and nobody was
owed a response.

You might find the solution in google by attempting another search...and
then poking thru the messages.

Goto http://groups.google.com

Then enter
scatter charts group:microsoft .public.*
in the search box. I wouldn't confine your search to just
Access...since Excel for example will use the same program...so the
above search checks out any microsoft.publi c group and perhaps you'll
spot something there, for Access or other MS programs, that has a solution.

Thanks Salad. The problem is, the scatter charts in Excel work fine. I
just can't get them to work in Access.

The wizard is hard. It is easier in excel.
Remember that the spreadsheet origin of this package assumes that the query is a totals one though
you can use max or whatever.

Forget the wizard and set up the query yourself, an example of a straight x-y plot (in A97) is at

I would post it here - it's small enough - but only Lyle has dared to post a binary to this
newsgroup

Only hundreds?

What about the subject?
--------------------------
Well, I can really only offer a personal opinion on this. Over the years
I've found that if I leave scatter charts alone then they return the
compliment, so it's not that I don't care about scatter charts it's more
that they and I respect each others space.

Yep, I've been a slacker I'm afraid. Approaching 900 posts, including a few
pleas for help, going back to mid-2001.

That's about 180 per year, or one every other day overall for the 6-year
period. But during the periods when I do post regularly, it's sometimes up
to 8 or 10 per day.

All at true minimum wage.
