what's the database file in? I use an OLE link to an excel spreadsheet and within it there is a graph <3d pie chart> (which i also show). i link my data to the spreadsheet part of the excel file and it in turn changes the pie chart on the fly. Then i display the pie chart on a seperate image within the form

Could you be more specific(Table Names, etc.), but a simple way is to use DAO/ADO to open the Database, then use either the MSChart Control, or An OLE link to Excel, or even Open an excel window with OLE Automation.

yep, he is right. unless you want to make 3d pie charts..then the easiest way is the way i went.
