Default Help to pick constant color to a value in a Pie Chart?

Gary -

One important difference is that Excel charts are built in Excel
workbooks, where you have the ability to manipulate the data with
worksheet formulas and plot the manipulated data.

I've never thrown VBA at an Access chart. If you're willing to
experiment, you could try to adapt one of the Excel techniques I've
posted in my blog. This one in particular:

VBA Conditional Formatting of Charts by Category Label

Are you familary with MS Access charts or graphs?? It is almost almost the
same as excel charts. Actually, Access charts is a subset of Excel charts.

Still hope someone could provide information.


Thank You,

I have a Pie Chart with 2 items only (R or P). R is a dark color and P is a
light color. When There isn't any P in my data, the chart picks the light
color for R.

I would like to always have a dark color for R and a light color or P.

I am doing the chart in MS Access 2000-03 and my row source is:

SELECT [RP],Sum([Freq]) AS [SumOfFreq] FROM [Rept#704_Joint_RP] GROUP BY
[RP];

Can someone please help me.


Thanks,

Gary
