A chart which did not map a unique identifier column would not allow annotations to be added.

-
Saving some short-run spc charts as images, could result in an error message like this: DrawShortRunChart (583)] Subscript out of range

-
In some cases, a complex multi-chart would not render correctly with some charts showing in the wrong view port.
-
Options were added to allow the user to control the font for data values near points.
-
Various improvements were made related to annotations. Sometimes, the line orientation would get reversed. Sometimes scrolling the chart would not scroll the annotation correctly. Sometimes the “attach to x-axis” option did not work. These issues were corrected.

-
When using CHARTrunner within Excel, via the Excel add-in, if a cell in the chart data range contains and error – such as DIV#0 – this can cause “type mismatch” errors.
-
When a control chart is setup to use more data than it shows – by setting a “width in subgroups” to some number less than the total number of subgroups – the data grid above the chart can get out of synch with the data points plotted on the chart. The numbers may be “pushed to the left” in the data grid – but the data line goes all the way across the chart. When this occurs the scroll bar does not work as it should.
-
Improvements were made when applying x-axis labels to control charts that are setup with advanced row selection. In some cases, every data point was labeled even though the chart was defined to display a few labels.
These changes and corrections were made after the 1.7.38 release and are contained in the 1.7.46 release (release date January 17, 2005)

-
While viewing a chart, pressing F5 (Refresh) could cause the data line and y-axis scales to be redrawn with errors. This was fixed.

An SDK example was added showing how to programmatically create a multi-chart.
-
@CO_NAME was added as a new chart titles substitution. This will display the company name as defined under Setup/Preferences.
-
When a chart is saved as a metafile, if any x-axis labels are displayed at an angle, the text string itself is angled but the individual letters within the string are oriented "normally." This was corrected.

Clicking around in the plot area of a Cusum chart could result in the v-mask being displayed “off” the data line. This was fixed.
-
Improvements were made to histograms in their ability to handle large data sets.
-
On an individuals/moving range chart, sometimes when the very first data point is out-of-control on the individuals chart, it is not marked with an out-of-control marker. This was corrected.
-
An error was fixed which caused Cpk to not show on some histograms – even though Cpk had been requested.
-
Some control charts would not allow you to select subgroups in order to compute control limits. In these cases the variable-x-axis option was selected but disabled.
-
In some cases, specification line labels are rounded so that a value like 1.234 shows up on the line as 1. This affected histograms and control charts and as fixed in this release.
-
An option was added to force Pareto bar labels to be outside the bar.
-
An option was added to the Excel add-in which allows the user to chart data going across (rather than down) a worksheet.
-
Added several chart title substitutions for statistics. For example @Cpk, @Dpm Most histogram statistics are covered.
-
Using certain characters as part of the chart name can cause “file not found” errors when you try to modify the chart. “%De” seems to be one culprit. This has been corrected.

-
When running Excel with the CHARTrunner add-in enabled, if you select multiple entire columns, then right click, Excel can “appear” to freeze up. The add-in was looking through all these cells for data and this took a long time. A change removed this check until chart time – when it is much less likely that so many cells would be checked. Hourglass processing was added to give user feedback during this time.
-
A chart that is defined using the Excel-add in, which also has the “close data source after display” option selected, can give you a “missing connection string” error on the data definition tab. This was corrected.
-
A spreadsheet column name with a leading or trailing space can cause an “invalid field” error when trying to display the chart. This was improved.
-
A new menu choice was added. Help/PQ Systems on the Web/View product tutorial. This selection launches a browser and displays a tutorial web page.
-
While viewing the filter form, clicking on “show where clause” may cause an “object or with block variable not set” error. This can put the form in a state where this is no easy way out. This has been corrected.
-
An error was corrected which caused some histograms, using the Pearson distribution, to display only a partial curve.
-
Under Help/About – information was added which displays the trial days remaining.
-
On some histograms, clicking on a bar to see the cell interval information, can display incorrect information. This was corrected.
-
Some options on the titles tab of the chart definition form, which apply only to control charts, are visible when working with a Pareto chart. This was resolved.
-
When creating a new chart, it should inherit the “active” out-of-control test rules. In some cases this did not happen. The error was corrected.
-
Improvements were made to a confusing message box that warned the user about changing out-of-control test rules for the current chart.
-
A maintenance reminder scheme was implemented. It displays a message (a few times) 365 days after the initial install.

Corrected an error in the way control limits on individuals/moving range charts handle data that has an assignable cause.
-
Corrected a problem where a display label (data definition tab) containing leading or trailing spaces caused an error to be displayed while trying to “view data” from the chart display form.
-
Corrected an error; Invalid property array index. This would occur after changing a control chart (which had saved limits) to a Cusum control chart.
-
Add support for filters in charts where the data source is an external ADO recordset. This was prevented in earlier releases.
