Hi Lavern, Yes, I am wanting to make a custom chart, I often alter the size of the boxes and adjust the default settings of what cant go in. I've looked in the Charting help (and Legacy help) files and I can't see where I can add specific events to be able to add them to my chart. It appears on the surface that I am stuck with the default items to be the only things I can include on a chart, which isn't really limitless at all. I'd like to instead be able to show Name, lifespan, custom events 1 2 & 3 which reflect what vital statistic documentation I currently hold for that person. Can you point me to a specific help topic that can help me achieve what I want? Thanks Kathy
