Problem with MS Chart

Hi,

I'm just trying to use MS Chart seriously for the first time. I have been getting on ok so far aided by the occasional web search for some advice but have come across a problem that is driving me nuts.

I can't seem to get any control over the X-axis tick marks other than switching them ON/OFF.

If i use:

Code:

---

myChart.Plot.Axis(VtChAxisIdX).Tick.Style = VtChAxisTickStyleNone

---

they will disappear. However, none of the other options:

VtChAxisTickStyleCenter
VtChAxisTickStyleInside
VtChAxisTickStyleOutside

seem to have any affect. With all three of these styles the ticks come on the outside. Also I can't have any effect on the length either using:

Code:

---

myChart.Plot.Axis(VtChAxisIdX).Tick.Length = .....

---

Would be really greatful for any advice on this one.
Thanks
Raz
