Line Chart X-Axis has too many point

Hi All,
I have a Chart line report that works great except when there are too many
data points. The x-axis labels then get too cramped and become unreadable.
I saw from another post that to fix this, you right mouse click on the chart
object, select properties, select "X Axis" tab, set "Major tick mark" to
"None" and "Minor tick mark" to "None". So I have "Major tick mark" set to
"None" and "Minor tick mark" set to "None" and also set on my "X Axis" tab
is: Checkbox "Show labels" is "Checked" and "Scale Minimum" = 0 (nothing
else is specified). However, this is not solving the problem (i.e. the
x-axis labels are still cramped together and unreadable).
I called Dundas Software and their tech support department said they cannot
provide technical support to me since I am using the Chart control packaged
with SQL Reporting Svsc 2005.
Can anyone offer any advice on how I can solve this?
Thanks in advance.Hello,

the issue with too many labels on the x-axis by setting the x-axis MINOR
interval value to e.g. 5 (i.e. one label per 5 categories / data samples).
