ACC1x: OLE: New Graph Object Frames Are Blank

• Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1

SYMPTOMS

When you add an unbound graph to a form or report it will appear as a blank object frame until you either view the form in Form view or print or preview the report.

CAUSE

Microsoft Access does not run the query that an unbound graph is based on until the form is viewed in Form view or the report is printed or previewed. Until the query is run, the object frame will remain blank.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
