George, The answer is no and yes.
While you are designing the chart your table must be a permanent table as the database must be disconnected and all temporary tables are dropped. This is what I do. I create a table with the information I want to chart/plot. I create the chart based on this table. Once the chart is created and tested, I delete the table and create a temporary table with the required data just before I call the charts plug-in from my code; after the chart is generated, the temporary table is dropped. I also save a command file that allows me to quickly re-create the table in case I need to modify the chart. I hope the explanation makes sense...

It seems like I cannot access a database that is open in Rbase (when I try I receive an error, "the database is open in a mode which makes it unavailable to you". Even when, I have no data browsers open). If I close Rbase then my temporary table is lost. It appears to me that I need to make a permanent version of my temporary table at least temporarily while I get my chart set up. Perhaps I should hire a "temp" to permanently solve this problem Geoffrey Wheeler, CVBT Thailand
