I have a report and a form with the same problem. I have
a graph where the data comes from the database as a
floating point value (type does not matter) where I want
to graph the data and include a data table at the bottom.
For example I want the data to be shown in percent. I can
format the data in my table but when I save the database
and open it again it is back to the way it was. It will
not save that information for me. Has anyone else
experienced this? Do you have a fix?
 
Caryl:

When you have the Graph object open, go the the data table in Graph (where
the sample data is,) and right click on a column that shows the data, bring
up format cells (just like in Excel) then select the number format you want
to apply.

If this doesn't "stick" then stop by our web and look in the Code and Design
Tips area under reports and look for the tip on Common Issues with Graph,
and you'll find code to format the data at run time to make sure the
presentation is what you want.
