Hi Alex,

You may save a chart using the BaseChart.makeChart API. It can be saved as BMP, PNG, JPG, GIF. For example:

Call c.makeChart("c:\\aaa.png")

ChartDirector charts are standard picture objects (the same as the standard VB PictureBox). You can print them just like printing a standard Picture or Image in VB6. For example:

'print everything on a VB6 form, including the chart
Me.PrintForm

or

'Use the VB Printer object to print the picture in a specific location on paper at a specific physical size
'Remember in VB, the coordiantes may be specified in TWIPS
Printer.NewPage
Printer.PaintPicture ChartViewer1.Picture, 0, 0, 400 * 15, 350 * 15
Printer.EndDoc

Hope this can help.

Regards
Peter Kwan
