Chart Displays OK When Dirty, but not When Saved!

[tbl]

I've created a chart on a report which appears to display
and print ok when I've made a change to the chart, but if I
save the chart and changes, it displays incorrectly.

This report shows two charts per page, one with weekday data
and one with weekend data. It's easy to tell something is
amis, because both charts on a page will look identical, and
not like either chart when it's displaying correctly.

I've tried the "fixes" in KB318079 (this is an Office 2002
machine running on Windows 2000 SP4), but see no difference
in behaviour with either one.

Any ideas?

If you want to save the chart on your computer (outside of Access), you might
consider converting them to PDF. You can do this two ways. The first using
a PDF printer like CutePDF or lebans code which works very well (you can find
it at www.lebans.com, look for ConvertToPDF).

Thanks for the reply, B.

I may not have stated my circumstance clearly.

I don't want to save it outside of Access.

What I'm wanting is for the chart to display and print
properly (in Access) after its structure is saved (within
Access).

I have several reports that contain charts where, after any
small change (even just the spelling on a label), they are
fine, but after I click on save, the charts get wierd: two
charts that should have somewhat different data curves,
instead are both identical, and they appear to be a
combination of the data that should be separate.

It's as if the Child/Master link is getting lost after the
save.

My other brain cell flickered briefly, and the answer came
forth:

In my various iterations of these reports, I had managed to
drop the Child/Master Link Field from the query for the
chart! Why the charts worked ok that way after a change
still eludes me. Guess I'll have to wait for another
flicker.
