I have written a small app that uses Microsoft Graph charts and now I
need to distribute that to computers that don't have Access (so they
will be using the runtime).

What do I need to do so that the Microsoft Graphs will work on those
machines? They are all Windows XP. I have Office Access 2003
Developer Extensions.

Thanks for your help,

Karen S.

I found that the graph.exe is installed with the runtime. It all works
fine with nothing special.

Did you check that on a PC that has NO Office applications?

MS Graph is part of Office, not Access. If you tested on a PC that has Word
or Excel installed, then that is probably where MS Graph came from, not your
runtime install.

That being said you should be able to include the graph engine as I know the
runtime installer for Access 97 allowed for that.
