Data wont change on chart

hi

i'm new to web charts (today). I've been able to create a dynamic chart from an access databse using asp but for some reason if i chage the data in the table the chart does not change (i refresh the page). I originally couldn't get it to show but one of the other posts on the forum helped me out with that one.

is there a setting i need to use in the wizard to make it refresh?

thanks

No, the data should be updating automatically when changed in the database.

If the data in the chart is not reflecting the changes you are making in the database, I would suspect that either the changes in the database are not being saved, or the database that the chart is connecting to is not the same database you are editing.

after changing the data in the chart, close the database program, then open it again to double check that the changes are saved.

are you testing the chart locally or on the remote server?

Are you using Access or MS SQL?
