    Unhappy Trouble creating a dashboard! Chart/Form not working. Formatting nuttiness...

    I've created many many charts in forms before without an issue. This latest database was built using Access 2016. When I create a graph/chart in a form or report and try to format it, the whole thing goes crazy. I've spent a huge amount of time trying to figure out why it's going nuts but nothing I do seems to correct the problem. It either automatically makes the chart/graph so big it's not legible. Or, it makes it really small. I don't know how else to describe except that it goes crazy when I double-click to enter to format.



    Anyone else have this problem? Anyone been able to resolve?

    Many many thanks in advance if you're able to help!!!

    I want to create a form with multiple charts/graphs (dashboard.)

    I've also built a fair number of charts and yes, formatting can be challenging. I analyse chart issues best working with the file. Especially since I cannot replicate the issue.
