Hello Steve,

I also got an exception with following code:

AxMSChart1.EditCopy()
MsgBox(My.Computer.Clipboard.ContainsImage)

MSChart1 is an COM component. The image it copied also in COM format. It
seems that the image data cannot be used in .NET managed code.

I think there two work arounds:
1. User Chart control in MS Office.
2. In VB 6.0 or VC 6.0, create a user control with MSchart control in it
and implement the print function in the user control, and use this control
in .NET framework.

Regards,
