http://support.microsoft.com/directory/discontinue.asp?sd=gn (http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=http%3a%2f%2fsupport.microsoft.com%2fdirectory%2fdiscontinue.asp%3fsd%3dgn)

Symptoms

When the MSChart control is used directly in a Web page, it does not always work as expected.

↑ Back to the top

Cause

The MSChart control is single threaded. Single threaded controls are not compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, so this control is not guaranteed to work with those versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

↑ Back to the top

Resolution

Microsoft does not recommend using the MSChart control in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later. It may be possible to use the MSChart control in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, but any problems that arise are not supported by Microsoft.

More information

To work around this problem, you can either build your own chart control in Visual Basic or Visual C++, or purchase a third-party chart control. There are third-party controls available that allow you to dynamically add charts to Web pages. You may also want to consider using Office 2000 Web Components.
