I have a simple table, containing a count, a status and an agent name.

I created a simple report, with a header by agent name. The idea is that the
report will display as:

Agent Name: Joe Blow
Simple bar chart - Horizontal Access Shows Status - In Progress, Complete,
Not Started
The value will be the count

This will repeat for each agent.

The report has groups, in the group header is the agent name and the chart
is also in the header, the detail section is hidden.

The problem I am having is that when I view the report, the charts flashes
on and off, as if it is a refresh issues. At first I uses a query as the
source. I have since created a temp table as the source.

Currently only a half dozen rows of data.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks

Andre

I think that is an issue with Access 2007 and report view. Does the
flashing occur if you open the report in print preview?
Basically only use design and print preview.

There could be another cause that I don't know about but I have seen similar
behavior.

If you are using Vista search the web for vista issues with graphs (can have
some refreshing issues).

HTH,

Thanks Mark. Yes, Print Preview is fine. Layout and Report view is the
problem.

At home I am using Vista 64 bit and at the office XP SP3, does the same
thing on both PC's.

Does anyone know whether MS is working on this ?

I like 2007, but it does seem to be quirky and buggy at times.

I doubt they are working on this issue. Just make sure you have SP2 and
live with the little bit of buggyness (not sure buggyness is a word).

You could try Access 2010 to see if it suffers from the same issue?

At least report view and layout view are not really needed,
