Is there any simple way to change the look and design of the Charts in Access? I really don't want to create Charts in Excel and import over to Access. Is there a thirdparty site with better templates?

The Access chart object/control is very limiting in design options. But I find it serves my needs just fine. What would you like to be different?
I am not aware of 3rd-party add-ins for charts. Have you searched web?

I have to agree with fuecheefang. Access charts stink big time, and it will never be any different as long as there is another product that MS can sell you. AFAIC, databases aren't really meant to do more than store and report data and allow editing/deletion of it. You can export data from Access to a workbook and even open an Excel chart from Access without too much trouble, so I would not give up on using them together. You might find you'll have to learn a whole new object model in order to make your db work with some other 3rd party product.
