Dynamic Form With Excel Charts

Hi all,

I'm working with Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and Adobe Livecycle 8.0. I've been doing some basic development with forms and XML (with that data interfacing with databases). I'm pretty much self taught on this process, learning by trial and error, as well as using forums such as this for tips.

Here is a solution I'm trying to develop and I'm not sure what direction to go. I'm trying to build a form that various internal clients will be using to place their comments, directions, and plans according to the data results, which are now representative in an Excel chart. For now, I'm using a basic Word document with links to the Excel charts, but using Word is too "clunky" and I want to do this in Adobe, so I can retrieve comments and such to compile in database.

I've built the "basic" form, but am trying to figure out how I can automatically/dynamically update the charts every month without having to create an image of each chart and manually add to the form. Again, I just want the end user to have this form to fill out with their updated chart imbedded in the document.

Thanks in advance for any tips or advice regarding my question/issue.
