The only thing missing in the conversion on my crash test database from
Access 97 to FM8 is the ability to generate charts within the
application (as opposed to exporting the data to Excel and charting from
there). I have found a plug-in to do this - oAzium Charts:

I will try out the evaluation version (if it works with FM8) but I would
appreciate advice on this and other plug-ins to do this task.


I must admit that I found the Access integrated charting woeful. My 1985
DOS software Open Access did a better job.

I believe xmChart is much-beloved.

Depending on your needs, you may find that ChartMaker does what you need
-- not a plug-n, but is a FMP database that links in with your solution.

Thanks Matt. It looks to be much better value (especially for runtime
solutions) than others on the market. I will give it a go.
