I have a simple application and am trying to somehow add 4 date picker type controls to the chart, I would like for the user to be able to select 2 different date ranges example 1/23/61- 2/12/65 and 2/23/88 - 2/23/99 and display these values in a line chart, showing the differences in climate change for example. My db has all of the climate data with date/time stamp already in it. I just need to graphically show it based on the users selection of the 2 seperate date ranges. Any help at all would be greatly appreaciated. thank you so much.

If you make the chart, couldn't the users go to the advance search page and search. You could also always redirect the link to the advance search page so they would always need to add the dates before going to the chart itself.

  1. Goto the Menu Builder in the Editor
  2. Double-Click on the link to bring up the Menu Item Editor and change Chart Page to Search Page.
    Let me know if that helps.

thanks for the info Trek, however that only charts the most recently entered date range, giving me 2 y axis with the same data lines. Thank for the suggestion anyway.
