Tomasz,
Yes I did watch the video and used the writeup to help me set up IB
in the first place. My problem was that I could not get the "line"
chart to change to a bar chart.
And the problem was mine. It was in the code as a line chart and
therefore wouldn't change.
As usual, it was operator error.
Thanks for your help in this matter. Sometimes, you just have to
keep pointing me in the right direction.
Bill
