Hi, Larry

Graphic capability on the MS Excel is much betther than the MS Access
and also the MS Excel is more popular to end user.

Base on the HP Information Access "Look and Feel", I created
3k2XL wizard, If you have ODBC and MS Access you could
use this VBA to create Excel work sheet without Access knowledge.

If you interest send me e-mail, I will send this VBA.

Hope It will open HPe3000 to all the Excel user.

Perhaps some pc report/graph generator and ODBC would do the trick.  We use
ms access and MiniSoft ODBC driver

Subject:        OT:  PC-based package for graphical reporting

Greetings, fellow listers.

My OT Topic for today is as follows:

I've been given a well thought-out, carefully organized missive from
Senior Management to find a reporting package supporting a multi-page
formal spec.  Then, I awoke from my nap!

What actually happened is somewhat more typical.  I've gotten a request
to find what looks like a 'what if' reporting package that:
        -       Will import delimited files
-       Will produce the ever-popular bar/pie chart (aren't pictures
what matters?)
-       And, most importantly, will allow 'on-the-fly' changes so you
can, for  example, change values on a an axis from, say Sales per $1
million to
                Sales per $2 million, click your pointing device and
have a new chart.

I may have to look at some Cognos Client-Server offering, but I'm hoping
there might be something more reasonably priced.

TIA!!
