Update Chart Fail.

Hi All,

I'm facing a problem while I work with .NET 1.1, Windows 2000 & office 2000
to generate chart in PPT.
Thing is like after I import the data into PPT chart's datasheet and update
the chart , sometimes the chart can be updated and displayed properly, but
sometimes it can't.

Could anyone help?

Thankx

It's hard to diagnose w/o knowing what your code's doing.

Most of us use VBA, but perhaps if you post the relevant code we can work it
out.

And please give us a more detailed desciption of the symptoms.

And finally, is there any pattern to when it works and when it doesn't?

And postfinally, the usual problem in this kind of situation is that you
activate the MSGraph chart, modify the data and/or properties, then quit
MSGraph but the chart doesn't change. It's back to its old self.

The fix for this is to call the MSGraph application's .Update method before
closing it and releasing variables.

================================================

In the .NET code, I use an object to represent the datasheet of MSGraph. And
then via code I paste some data into the datasheet. In the Visual Studio, I
can find data which has been imported into the object. But at the same time
in the UI of PPT, I can't watch any data in MSGraph datasheet.
I've invoked update method of MSGraph before I quit the MSGraph.

No idea, then. Try posting your code here ... perhaps that'll make it clearer.
