Discussion

Access considers a chart to be an unbound object, meaning that you can manipulate the chart as you would any other object. For example, add a chart to a form or report to improve its usefulness and appearance.

NOTE A chart appears differently in Design view, due to the fact that the actual data is not displayed.
