you should try running your db on different computer, then you will know if it will work.

Thank you so much sir i got it the way you have done is awesome i saw in some tutorials they just make pie chart and copy the same chart into access form and it was linked through excel file so in that case if the file is not in the same place it will not work and my DB will be used in different Pc's. But you have done through completely different way thank you once again sir.

hi Waseem,

Data is stored in tables, and that is where the data type is specified. Right-click a table in the Navigation Pane and choose "Design View". Make sure that the fields with numbers are defined with a numeric data type.

In queries, if you use the Format function (as opposed to setting the format property on a column), the resulting data will be changed from number to text.

Here is a short book that would be good to read:
