exporting pivotchart to graphic

[erbrose]

Howdy all!
I need help exporting a pivotchart to a .png
I have a form 'frm_forquery' that allows a user to select a value called "TMC", this then runs a query and opens the pivotchart 'frm_selectTMC' based on that users selection.
I would like to export the chart to a jpg..
I added a command on 'frm_forquery' and have been working on this code, but i keep getting run-time error '2467' the expression you entered refers to a object that is closed or doesn't exist....
here is the command code

Private Sub Command13_Click()
Dim outputDir As String
Dim TMC As String
Dim plot_model As String
Dim form_name As String
Dim graphForm As Form

TMC = "Select TMC Chart"
outputDir = "C:\"
form_name = "frmSelectTMC"
plot_model = "frmSelectTMC_"

    
Set graphForm = Forms(frmSelectTMC)
graphForm.ChartSpace.ExportPicture outputDir & plot_model & TMC & ".jpg", "JPG", 1024, 800

End Sub

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
cheers,
Eric

Here is the work-around that I found for anyone who cares....
I copied/paste my pivotchart form 'frm_selectTMC' and called the copy 'frm_chartexpor t'
In the form properties of 'frm_chartexpor t' i built an event procedure for "on open" with the following code

Private Sub Form Open (Cancel as Integer)
Me.ChartSpace.ExportPicture "c:\temp\test1.jpg", "JPG" , 1000, 1000
End Sub

Now on the 'frm_forquery' I added a command button called "export"
with the following code

Private Sub Export_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_chartexport", acFormPivotChart
DoCmd.Close asForm, "frm_chartexport
End Sub

its a bad work-around but it at least works, now for more bugs!
Cheers,
