To save to file the graph generated by a MSChart control, you must use the control’s EditCopy method to copy the image into the clipboard, and then paste it into a PictureBox control. Then, just use the SavePicture function to save the PictureBox’s content to file. Here’s an example: Click here to copy the following block Private Sub Command1_Click()   MSChart1.EditCopy   Picture1.Picture = Clipboard.GetData(vbCFMetaFile)   SavePicture Picture1.Picture, "C:\Image1.wmf" End Sub And here’s a reusable routine: Click here to copy the following block Sub SaveMSChart(graph as MSChart, pic as PictureBox, ByVal fileName As String)   ' copy the graph into the clipboard   graph.EditCopy   ' paste the clipboard’s content into the PictureBox   pic.Picture = Clipboard.GetData(vbCFMetaFile)   ' save to file   SavePicture pic.Picture, fileName End Sub
