hello, I'm trying to draw some graphs using COM objects, but it seems I can't set any property.. here's my script snip: $ex = new COM("Excel.sheet") or Die ("No COM"); print("Application name: {$ex->Application->value}<br>"); print("Loaded version: {$ex->Application->version}<br>"); $wkb = $ex->Application->Workbooks->Add(); $ch = $wkb->Charts->Add; print_r( $ch ); $ch->Activate; $ch->hastitle = 1; $ch->ChartTitle->Text='pippo'; $leg=$ch->Legend; echo $leg->Height; $leg->Height=200; I get: Application name: Microsoft Excel Loaded version: 9.0 Warning: PropPut() failed: Exception occurred. Source: Microsoft Excel Description: Unable to set the HasTitle property of the Chart class in c:\program files\apache\htdocs\bs-test\com\exp-graph-excel.php on line 19 ..... and so on for any of the subsequent statements; (the echo $leg->Height gives a PropGet failed..) the HasTitle property really exists, like ChartTitle->Text, Height etc... I had worked with COM/Powerpoint and everything goes; any hint? thank you very much, --giuseppe
