I, too, am finding Access graphing "talents" limited if not "limiting".
I wish there was more documentation... Somewhere, with code examples.

Thank you for your reply. I have figured out that the best way to do graphing is to link the Access data into Excel and do the graphic there as Excel has much better graphing functionality.
