I need to chart data in the pie chart format. But the legend for the chart is incomplete, i.e: Vip shows legend (as well as values or %) only for the pie slices which are on the right half. The rest are just ignored.

The form also contains buttons which change the chart type (e.g. to bar or line) of that same chart.

Since the legend was inadequate for the pie chart, I had to use two charts:

chart1 is a bar chart with legend - visibility set to on

chart2 is an invisible pie chart without the ViP legend but 	with an artificial legend I created myself.

I would toggle the visibility depending on the user input.

Here are the problems I faced :

- The message "Notes Vip File Error 129" on closing the application window in the designer

- Same message also on trying to save the application, Vip crashes afterwards

- When re-opening the application if I try to delete or cut one of the charts, I get the same message.

- However ViP would save a locked app without problem, but when running the application I got the message "Error in file F:\chart\afid\engine\project.c at 853"

I am using ViP 2.5 under Windows 95 and any help would be appreciated.

You are doing something in LotusScript that the Lotus Chart Engine does not like and is crashing on. The "F:\chart\afid\engine\project.c"

line is straight out of Lotus' LTCHEN20.DLL (Lotus Chart Engine).

The message "Notes Vip File Error 129" on closing the application window in the designer occurs again in a Lotus module when the script cannot be compiled and saved in the application.

So whatever you are doing in script is choking some Lotus DLLs, that we have no control over. (They are simply obtained from Lotus as DLLs).

My suggestion is to back off some of the "neat" things until it is saving and reloading without error, then rethink the design. We cannot change the Lotus modules.
