Default Creating Reports from Forms

Hi! I am trying to create a form that will create new
reports on an ad hoc basis. Basically, I have one large
Query that contains Volume figures for a number of my
products. What I would like to do is create a chart from
these figures. The problems lies in that as the products
are constantly changing, I can not create the Chart
reports now and then call them up from a button.

Is there anyway that I could have a "Create Chart" button
on my form, which would allow me or the user to select
from a number of options the Values I want to see on the X
and Y axes? For Instance, at the moment the base query is
laid out as thus:

Product May Volume June Volume July Volume
CD123 12 10 0
CD124 12 10 0
CD125 5 5 5
MD111 1 0 0
MD112 0 0 0

I would like the form to contain drop-down menus of the
Product options, then another with the Monthly volumes, so
that I could for example select Product CD123, and then
June and July Volumes, and then press a button that will
create a chart displaying the relevant information that I
have requested, and not all the information that lies in
the query. Is this even possible?

The query by form sample download at
http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/O...p#Hookom,Duane allows
users to select any fields from master queries (which you create once). They
can sort and group and filter. Results can be sent to CSV, Print, Html,
Word, Excel, or Graph.
