Is this even something out of Access?

[George_E]

Hello guys

I am creating a database for my new employer and in the database he wants me to include the same chart which I have attached.

Now I have searched around in the internet for this including other posts on the forum and havent seen anything like this before.

In the model database which I am meant to be replicating the previous developer is calling it a bubble chart, however access bubble charts dont even look anything like this? right?

I look forward to your responses

I think that's a Visio chart.

Thanks for your response atomic shrimp, if it is a visio chart, is it possible to integrate a fully functional visio chart into access, which varies upon data and what have you, or is it just simply a model which the previous developer used as an example?

Thanks

There might be an MS Visio activex object available in your version of Access, but I'm afraid I have no idea how to use it - I've only seen other people use Visio - which it why the report looked familiar.

Oh ok, thanks again for your response atomic shrimp, I wonder what would be the advantages of using visio charts, and if so if theyre flexible whilst imported into access. If for instance the data changes, will the chart change accordingly

Correct me if I am wrong but anything that is visio related will only work if you have visio installed on the host machine.

Yh, thats a point, as I dont have Visio installed on my computer
