Can I make graphs in Access

[Gkirkup]

I have a table with various prices for items over time. I would like to make a simple line graph or bar graph of the prices, in a pop-up window on screen. Is it possible to make graphs in Access?

OK, I found the graph tool and added ut to the toolbox. So far so good.
I have a simple bar graph working, but my problem is that the graph box is plain white until I double click on it, then the graph appears. I tried setting focus to the graph, but that didn't help. How do I get the graph to appear without having to double click on it?

You can create all types of graphs. Try the Graph icon from the menu. The graph has it's own provoked query where you can play how you would like the results to appear on the graph. I would suggest that you create a query first for what you would like to appear on the graph and then create a graph on that.

Gkirkup: The reason could be that the Modal and Pop up properties on the other tab of form design properties might have set to YES, turn them to No. Then you could see the graph.

I am still not seeing the graph when first displayed. I can double click the empty graph box and the graph appears. I also added navigation buttons to the form, and if I click the 'last record' button the graph appears.
I checked Modal and Pop up and both are set to no.
Any ideas on how I can get the graph to appear without having to click on it?
