Axis Formating Not Working

[User (Legacy)]

I copied some code directly from the designer to try to format my Y-Axis for 

scientific notation.  It did not work at all.  It just ignored it and 

formated the numbers normally.  The code that came from the designer was: 

<!-- Axis Settings --> 

<CFSET Chart1Axis = Chart1.Axis> 

<CFSET Chart1Axis0 = Chart1.GetArrayProp("Item",0,Chart1Axis)> 

<CFSET Chart1Axis0.Format = 3> 

<CFSET Chart1Axis0.Format = 3> 

I am using cold fusion.  Also, how do you get the custom formating to work? 

For example, trying to set the axis format property to somthing from the 

help file, like "$#,##0;" causes errors.
