Question : customized graph creater

Hi experts. I'm right now building a database application with Access 2007 (I chose this software becuase the database isn't large, and my application isn't that big), and planning to replicate it to 50 users. All was going well in the programming (creating my own forms, report builder, and my own menu) until I came to the part where I wanted to create my own Wizard for the end-users for creating charts and graphs from the reports.

Becuase the type of charts I need aren't that complex, and becuase i'm afraid not all users will have Excel, I decided not to work with "export/import" between Access and Excel, and stick with programming MSGraph (through Access). And that's where the trouble began: I discoverd that you can't do "whatever you want" with MSGraph like I did with Access, so I tried to see if I could write code in VBA and manipulate the objects through there. But after looking at the Help file and seeing the dozens (probubly endless) of methodes and properties the Charts and Graphs have, I got desperate...

Can you please suggest to me any easier way for creating my own "chart and graph Wizard" for my program?

Thank you.

Answer : customized graph creater

If you are refering to access to the source code.....I don't think so....this program is installed as an add-in. Don't know of any tools complete with source code.  However, with the automation source code links I provided you below, you might be able to piece together your own tool.  
 
See this link for another add-in (Again, no source code):
