Formatting graphics

The first decision you need to make about formatting is what kind of graph you want to display. The following chart types are predefined in the InForm application:

To create a...	Specify this value for the chart type...
Horizontal bar chart	&H20000
Vertical bar chart	&H30000
Pie chart	&H40000

If IsEmpty(Request.QueryString("Pie")) or
Request.QueryString("Pie")=0 Then nChartType = &H30000
If Request.QueryString("H")>0 Then nChartType = &H20000
