Stock Chart (1 Viewer)

[NathanSavidge]

Hi,

Can anyone help.
I am trying to put in an Open, Close, High, Low stock chart in an access form, but do not have the option on my chart types.

Does anyone know of a web site where i can look to see how to set this up. I have the data ready, and it works when passed to excel, but cant see the chart type in Insert --> chart and insert --> object --> MS GRaph.

TIA

Nathan.

Hi Nathan,

To create a stock chart in an Access form you would use an unbound object frame, when the wizard starts look down the list until you find Microsoft Excel Chart then you are on your way to getting your Stock Chart in your form.

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for that. I was messing about with Excel Chart as this came in. The problem i have with it is, that when i link it to my datatable, it get the error The Operation on the OLE failed. Could you advise what this means, i have put the data in the excel sheet "Sheet1" in the background and all is good. Is it possible to populate via vba?

Nathan,

OLE means Object Linked Embedded, so it is looking to embed the chart as an object hence the unbound object frame, so unbound means it isn't linked as such to another source.

I have had a quick scan but no one recommends any linking method to the datasheet.
