Hi Kathy, I wish I could say that I could help you accomplish your goals, but unfortunately my good intentions are falling short. I've done several charts (not a fan chart among them) and it sounds like you've done your share of "creating" as well. You've also done your homework with the "Help" files.
Perhaps the next step is to contact Technical Support to find out if what you're trying to do is possible. Good luck! Lavern Hall .........................................
