I am new to Crystal Reports.  I have created a chart in CR XI and use the chart in a reporting app i am developing in VS2005 using c#.
 
The report is tied to a SQL Server stored procedure with seven parameters. Based on the selections from multiple option groups on the web form i set the parameters and redisplay the chart.  I have overcome the signon and multiple connection issues and am very happy with the performance.
 
I would like to do two things that are escaping me at the moment.
 
1) I would like to dynamically set the minimum and maximum range on the y axis.  Some selections can bring back a range from 10million - 15 million.  Others bring back a range from 600Million - 800million.  Right now all charts are starting at zero even with the "always include zero" unchecked...   I have not found a way to programmically get down to that type of functionality on the chart object
 
2) I would like to show the data labels only on hovering over the point.  Any way to do something like that?
 
Thanks!

Hi Joe,

Crystal Reports charting doesn't support much flexibility for dynamic reporting. You are going to have to look at other report charting options from third-party vendors. I heard the the next version of Crystal Reports will give us more options in this area, but that is still a ways off.
