NO it won't expose a graphics object..
i am writing code for this chart as the following

' Set the chart size
MSChart1.RowCou nt = objRecordset.Re cordCount
MSChart1.Column Count = intSelectedColu mnCount

' Set the chart data
i = 1
Do While Not objRecordset.EO F
For j = LBound(Columns) To UBound(Columns)
' Set data
If Not IsNull(objRecor dset.GFields(Fi eldNames(j)).Va lue) Then
MSChart1.DataGr id.SetData(i, j + 1, CDbl(objRecords et.GFields(Fiel dNames(j)).Valu e), False)
Else
MSChart1.DataGr id.SetData(i, j + 1, vbNull, True)
End If

Next j

objRecordset.Mo veNext()
i = i + 1

Loop



and now the chart is ready with the graph,which i want to save in the bitmap..
Please help me out..
Thanks.

Well I think you have to use GDI+ functions to get it into a bitmap.
Unless it has the DrawToBitmap() function (not supported for activeX objects). It also will not show up under intellisense.
