SYMPTOMS
When you use the Dundas Chart control to render a chart in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services-based reports, the chart label values may be displayed incorrectly for the y-axis. For example, the y-axis minimum value will be adjusted to a lower value.

Note The Chart control that is used in Reporting Services is licensed from Dundas Software. For more information about charting functionality in Dundas Software, visit the following Dundas Web site:

CAUSE
This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:
 * The y-axis margins are turned on.
