These are the fields as they are in the designer / chart expert / data / Show value(s): and I cannot find a way to change them. Tried right clicking and properties.  It would seem that this is a limitation of CR built into VS2005 VB .net as after googeling, some have suggested placing a text box over the chart to hide the default label text. Not ideal I've found this code to handle adding custom text to CR text objects:   Dim myTextObjectOnReport As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.TextObject             myTextObjectOnReport = CType(newRpt.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects.Item("Text1"), CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.TextObject)             myTextObjectOnReport.Text = "some text" This works for a text object but it started me thinking if there was something similar I could use to change the chart series / group label text? Does anyone know if this is possible and if so what the syntax would be? thanks in advance Mark
