Hi, I am using the easy chart for some large datasets and I have the polling mode turned off. I noticed this morning that no matter what I do it continues to poll. I upgraded from 7.2.4 to 7.2.8 Friday 8/8/2011. I don’t recall this being a problem before the upgrade. Let me know if there is something I can do. Thanks, ---

What is the chart mode property set to? ---

chart mode is set to manual and the poll rate is set to 0 ---

I’ve set up an easy chart like you described - manual mode and polling rate zero, and was unable to replicate the issue. Perhaps you could call in and demonstrate the issue over GoToMeeting? ---

Is the start date or end date properties bound to something that is polling (like an expression using the now() function)? ---

Ooh, yeah, that sounds like a likely culprit. ---

OK, now this is embarrassing! The chart’s pens dataset was set to polling off but the where clause was bound to an SQLTag. This tag was set via a property change script in a list box. Even though nothing different was being selected it was still being refreshed because it was filled by a query with relative polling. Setting this to polling off solved the problem. The end user never complained about it because they thought it was normal. I noticed it for the first time after the upgrade when I was verifying everything. Thank you for the time you put into this and for your suggestions. ---

Yeah it can be tricky with a cascade of binding interactions. Glad you got it working.
