Does this app cost money. I don't see on the website where you can buy it, just a free download. It looks nice, and would be cool to use, but I'll stick with cfgraph for now if it costs anything.

This is one of them. What you are wanting to do is to have two valuecolumns on the same chart, a nd this is something that CFGRAPH does not do. What you can do is to create two graphs, one showing weight loss and the other weight goal. You would h ave all the people in the database lumped into one chart for each category. The code example below gives you two charts, one on top of the other. If y ou want to do some really cool things with charts and graphs, for now you w ill need to get a third party charting application. The one we use here at Baylor is PopChart by Corda Technologies (www.corda.com). It is really good It is a JAVA application that runs on the web server (or any server for t hat matter, you just have to point to it in your code). It works well with CFM, ASP, JSP and HTML. It also comes with a cool builder tool that is als o a JAVA application. You feed in the necessary parameters and it creates t he necessary JavaScript for you. Code example: <!--- Query the DB for the informaton ---> <cfquery dataSource = "SomeDSN" Name = "qSomeName"> Select * > WeightLoss order By F_Name </cfquery> <!--- Create the first graph ---> <cfgraph type="HORIZONTALBAR" query="qSomeName" valuecolumn="Weight _Lost" itemcolumn="F_Name" showvaluelabel="Yes" valuelabelfont="Arial " valuelocation="ONBAR" scaleto="300" itemlabelfont="Arial" itemlabel orientation="HORIZONTAL" title="Weight Loss Progress Chart" titlefont ="Arial" fileformat="Flash" depth="5" colorlist="red,green,blue,yel low,orange"> </cfgraph> <!--- Create the second graph ---> <cfgraph type="HORIZONTALBAR" query="qSomeName" valuecolumn="Weight_ Goal" itemcolumn="F_Name" showvaluelabel="Yes" valuelabelfont="Arial" valuelocation="ONBAR" scaleto="300" itemlabelfont="Arial" itemlabelo rientation="HORIZONTAL" title="Weight Goal Progress Chart" titlefont ="Arial" fileformat="Flash" depth="5" colorlist="red,green,blue,yel low,orange"> </cfgraph> Another thing that you can do is to output the information into a table abo ve the charts, and you can also make it a drill down chart, then you could pass in the User_ID parameter in the URL and create another chart for just the individual or a table with the necessary information. --- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Ann Harrell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2002 11:24:52 -0500 I'm in the thinking stage of a small project for a group of friends. I want to keep it fairly simple. It would be in Access Person1 WeightLost (bar graph) WeightGoal Person2 WeightLost WeightGoal and I would like to display this in cfgraph. Is this possible?
