Replying to Larry, Jim and Graham…. This is actually John Marsh of Bits Per Second – Graeme Knott is more an icon for us all rather than a real person! (actually, he does exist, but he is responsible for our DOS products rather than our Windows products). A major point which seems to have been overlooked – ChartBuilder CAN print at full printer resolution. You trigger such a print with the DrawMode property – it's fully explained in the manual. In fact, we make a special point of mentioning this because VB's own printing is so poor. You can also get ChartBuilder to create a Metafile (on disk or ClipBoard) which can be pasted into a Word document. So far as scaling is concerned you're right – in ChartBuilder we currently don't provide a mechanism for you to control it, it's always automatic and sometimes doesn't do what you want. Our next release will fix this. Finally for now, don't forget ChartBuilder is licence-free – 15,000 copies of Excel would be rather expensive!!! Regards… John There is 1 Reply.
