The input into the chart will be a constant 4 columns. The application will be similar to a stock market graph updating constantly from an Access database.

Thank you for your response. I am having trouble getting this thing to work like I want it to. If I send you my access database, can you help me write the code that goes in the timer to refresh the graph?

I could give you an example - but not write the full code..<br />
I would need to know which database &quot;method set&quot; you prefer to work with..<br />
There are about 6 method sets you can use that are like language sub-sets..<br />
You would need to be familiar with at least one of them.<br />
If you are not familiar with ADO or DAO, you might try looking at common examples using Data-Controls. They are fairly easy to use.

Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I have an Access database that is being updated every 30 seconds with a new record in the &quot;DATA&quot; table. The record that is inserted contains (Timestamp, Sales, Voids, Coupons).<br />
<br />
I want to use MSChart to graph the 3 values (Sales, Voids, Coupons) on the Y axis and use the Timestap as the X axis.<br />
<br />
I am having a hell of a time getting this to work. My programming skills are crappy at best :)<br />
<br />
Any help is appreciated.

VB6 MS Chart and Access Database

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
