query

[Anon]

hi,

I can query my mysql database for data depending on the user requests but I have to be able to convert the results of these queries automatically into data for displaying in Excel charts instead of actually creating the charts manually. Do you know how I can do this?

Yours,

john

Microsoft usually uses proprietary data formats that lock customers into permanent dependencies on MS tools.

Maybe COM functions would help. Here's a good article on them:

I have an interface where the user is selecting options from a few menus to obtain Excel charts based on their selections. The data which creates these charts is held in a MySql database and what I want to do is that whenever the user selects the menu options they will instantiate a query which will return a result from the Database that will be used for converting into an Excel chart. Do you know how I would do this?
