Sorry your browser is not supported!

i am trying to get my text to display the value of the bar graph.. as you will see my values scale the bars, jan is set to 2000 but if u move it, it moves the bar.. now how do i display the amount and get it move at the same time..

so if i were to put 3500 instead of 2000, it would be at the top of the bar for january.

}

Similar to the way you placed a dbCenterText at the end of each month, place another dbCenterText that uses the same x-alignment that you used to print the months (textX) and a Y-value that is approximately 25pixels above the top of your upper Y-value.

For example
dbCenterText( textX, upperLeftY - 25, dbStr( february ) );

BTW, you spelled February wrong...

thanks for the help and meh.. suck at spelling
