DOCUMENT:Q141393 25-AUG-1999 [foxpro] TITLE :DOC: Developer's Guide Has Incorrect OLE Automation Syntax PRODUCT :Microsoft FoxPro PROD/VER:3.00 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbdocfix ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= Page 413 of the Visual FoxPro Developer's Guide contains a code error that prevents the graph from appearing in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. This documentation error has been fixed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 for Windows. MORE INFORMATION ================ The code example should run a SELECT statement, place the values in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, create a chart, open Word 6.0, and place the chart in the Word document. The code error prevents the chart from appearing in Microsoft Excel. The program simply halts execution. The incorrect line of code on page 413 reads: oleSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart.ChartWizard (oleSheet.Range(oleSheet.Cells(1, 1), oleSheet.Cells(10,2)),4100,4,1,0,1,1,"","","","") NOTE: These three lines of code are actually one line of code in the Developer's Guide example. The number 4100 in the example should read -4100 (negative 4100) to make the code example work correctly. The code on page 413 also appears in the Oleaut1.scx form, located in the \Sample\Ole directory. In the Click event of the Command1 object, the example is correct.
