Hello all :-)

I am running report designer thru visual studio against sql server to report via our intranet.

I wish to change the colours of the lines in a line chart, but cannot figure out how to do it.

It seems to me there should be a style button in the properties/apperance section for the data vlaues, like there is for the legend etc. I have looked into the rdl file and looked on the m$ website and found that the <style> tags do not apply to lines on a chart.

Surely somewhere the colours are defined. Therefore surely they should be able to be changed. I have seen vague references to changing clours on charts with code, but not how to actually do it.

It appears that the chart object comes from somewhere other than m$, so it is possible that I may need to spend thou$ands on their software to make this happen, but surely a simple change of colours is possible as it stands now!!

btw the object browser in my vis studio is always blank, does anyone know about that?

man i hate the first few weeks of a new program!

Any help / links / suggestions very welcome

Cheers - Mike
