SYMPTOMS
When you insert a Microsoft Office Chart 11.0 control in a data access page by using the Insert ActiveX Control dialog box, you may not be able to use Microsoft Office Data Source Control (MSODSC) to connect to a data source.

Additionally, in the Office Chart control in the Commands and Options dialog box, you may notice that the Data from the following web page item option is unavailable (appears dimmed).



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use the Microsoft Office Chart 10.0 control instead of the Office Chart 11.0 control in a data access page.

To insert an Office Chart 10.0 control in a data access page in Design view, use one of the following methods:
 * In the Toolbox, use the drag-and-drop feature to move the Office Chart control to the data access page.
 * On the Insert menu, click Office Chart.
 * In the data access page, insert the Office Chart control by using the Insert ActiveX Control dialog box. To do this, follow these steps:
 * On the Insert menu, click ActiveX Control.
 * In the Insert ActiveX Control dialog box, click Microsoft Office Chart 10.0 in the Select an ActiveX Control list.
 * Click OK.
