The OLE modules allow you to do graphs in Excel. I am not sure but I think
you can convert graphs in Excel to different formats which would be usable
outside of it. If management want the graphs in Excel I would normally be
tempted to give it to them in Excel with a sheet with the data and that way
they can do what they want with it. I have an example of using Excel with
OLE but not with graphs. I would be very interested in anything you get from
the graphs bit. 

I will see what I can do at my end with graphs as it would be handy for me
as well.
