Hi John,
One of my charts has suddenly just stopped reacting to dragging the cursor along the bottom time scale to expand or contract time frame. I can't get it to compress, or expand for that matter. I have tried everything I can think of but it's weird it's now stuck in the position. Help please...Karen

You can only compress so far. You have hit the limit on compressing the x-axis any further. You can tell this by the 0 L in red in the bottom right corner of your graphics area. The zero is telling us that there is no spacing between the bars, in pixels. Refer to the following for more information on that indicator:
Working With Charts: Chart Settings Indicators at Lower Right of Chart

But you should be able to expand the chart out from where it is. Please select Chart >> Bar Spacing >> Large Increase Spacing and your bars should separate some and you should then see a number other than 0 in the bottom right corner. If this works, then how are you trying to increase the spacing that is not working?
