Can someone please post a set of steps needed to get Delphi 6 to work

with ChartFX? I've read all the applicable posts here(some of them were not

very

clear) and tried everything and still get invalid variant operation. I have

D6 Update Pack 1

and have downloaded the modified ChartFXLib.PAS.

1) Import Chart FX ActiveX into a new package as you would normally do.

2) Close Delphi

3) Search for ChartFXLib_TLB.PAS, you should find this file under the

Imports folder.

4) Replace it with the modified version.

5) Search for ChartFXLib_TLB.dcu and delete it.

6) Open Delphi

7) Open the recently created package as a project and re-compile it (hit the

compile button).

8) Open your project or create a new one and re-compile.

Thanks for the reply. I followed the steps, but I still get the error :(

Is there anything else I should look at or check? I'm running out of ideas.

Are you sure you have Update Pack 1 running, please check your About box.

Even without replacing ChartFXLib._TLB.PAS, after update pack 1 you should

not get the "Invalid Variant" error, as a matter of fact you can drop a

chart in a form, run it and everything seems fine. After Update Pack 1, you

don't get a crash anymore but some properties don't work hence the need of

replacing this file.

I don't know why you are not getting the same result we are but I have two

ideas, of course these are just guesses as we don't have Delphi's code.

1) We have Delphi Enterprise, maybe the Update Pack for other versions

doesn't fix the problem

2) You still have somehow a reference to the older Chart FX, try removing

all files in the Borland folder that are named ChartFX* or CFX*
