hi
I have a chart (mschart control) that appears after the user has selected which data they would like to see.
Now, after I put the data into an array and then set the chart to use the array I go through and assign all of the seriescollections and set their brushes to different colars and diffirent patterns. At first the chart.visible is set to false until enough data is set to get the first chart. Now, when that data is set the chart comes up...however...4 out of 10 of the series don't come out right. They come out all black. Now, I can change the data, say switch to a different month, and bam...the series take the colors and patterns they were suppose to. And I've tried every combination of months etc. The only thing I see is that it only happens the first time and also it tends to happen on the ones where I've set the fillcolor to be white and the pattern color to be black. (but I have to keep these black and white so I can't just easily switch the colors)

any ideas?
thanks
