I'm building a website which includes a lot of performance data contained in a database that is updated daily and that's working fine however, our programmer has created graphs from the database which change on the fly and we are trying to workout what format he should provide them in for the website. Basically when the user chooses the page, it will server up the data and the graphs. We tried inserting an example of an ActiveX Control (ocx file) but couldn't get this to work.
Are we going the wrong way about this?
Can anybody help?
What have others done?

Dear Sedwards,
Don't waste space by putting graphs in your DB - generate them dynamically.
I'm guessing that your are using an MS-based server, so do it yourself:
www.asp101.com/articles/chris/aspcharts/default.asp
or buy a component:
www.dundas.com/products/asp/chart/index.asp
Either way, choices abound - check Google.

Brent
