Bind an External Database to the Chart

1.   Add a Data control to your form. For more information, refer to your Visual Basic documentation.

2.   Set the Data control's DatabaseName property to the database's name and location, the Connect property to the database type, and the RecordSource property to the record source from within the database.

3.   Set the Chart2D Object's DataSource property to the name of the data control. The chart is now bound to the external database.
