You can't set the widths of the individual columns. All have to have the
same width.

I am not setting the width of individual columns, every column is very
narrow, and I tried adjusting the gaps, but that did not help, it moved the
columns closer together but did not make the columns wider.

How far apart are the columns? Is it weekly data on a date scale axis?

Jon,
I changed the type of chart, from a 3-D to a 2-D, and now when I set the gap
it modified the width of the colums, so I have this problem fixed for now.
You might be able to answer another question. I am trying to graph two cash
flow streams over a 20 year period. I also want to compare this against the
cumulative cost, but I would like the annual amounts plotted in columns, and
the cumulaitve plotted with a line graph against a different axis. Do you
have suggestions?
