XY scatter and Bar chart - secondary axis misaligned

[philcud]

hi all,
i am making a gantt chart, with stacked bar chart (using hidden
series).
x axis (bottom) is date,
y axis (left) is task name (ie category axis).

i have overlayed an xy scatter (i had an extra column giving the
vertical coordinates for the scatter, 0.5 1.5 etc, y coordinates are
dates) , which has worked fine when i had 4 categories.

however, when i include all needed categories (28), the secondary y
axis (right) disappears, and the scaling changes so that the vertical
alignment of the xy points is misaligned.

i have tried everything to show the secondary y axis so i can change
scale, but no luck - any ideas please.

thanks.

Choose Chart Options from the Chart menu, click on the Axes tab, and
select the combination of axes you need.

unfortunately, the axis options are greyed out for all series.
i am attempting to rebuild the chart and see at what stage the option
to assign axis to a series is lost.
have looked in the newsgroup and it seems as though the order in which
series are added / amended affects the chart - is there anywhere i can
view such information in detail?

anyone can provide the information requested above?
thanks
