    I'm unable to insert graphs into my access forms and reports.
I get a message indicating the ActiveX component is not registered.
The only OCX file I can find is MSCHART20.OCX which seems to be
Chart6.0 instead of Chart8.0. I've searched but can find nothing to
let me know what the right OCX is called.
    I've re-installed Office97. I've uninstalled Access97, then
reinstalled, but the Charts ActiveX is still unregistered. I have used
this feature in previous applications I created. Now, even these other
applications do not work properly when it comes to charts.

Thanks for any help!

Hi,
maybe you mean Microsoft GRAPH? this one was shipped with office, and in
Access 97 it was Graph 8
MSCHART20.OCX was shipped with Visual Studio

That is correct. The MSCHART20.ocx is for Visual Studio. What is the
OCX file for Graph 8 for Access 97?

For posterity's sake, the resolution that I struggled to find for 3
days was as simple as re-registering the ole32.dll file. I can not
imagine why something this common would be so hard to find on the MS
web site. I happened to stumble across a registry key associating the
graph program with this server file. Gave it a shot, and BAM,
everything's hunkey-dorey.
