Visible Problems

I am using Klaus Major's excellent script to create four graphs based  
on data entered by the user. With the help of Klaus, I have the  
graphs working. However, I have encountered a problem with the  
visible property of two graphics used in the fourth graph. Although  
the Inspector shows that he visible of the graphics is visible (the  
check box is checked), they are not visible in the project. I checked  
the colors and they are set to blue and red respectively. I also  
checked the Application Browser for the card where the graphics for  
the fourth graph is located and it also indicates that it should be  
visible. When I checked in the Menu Show Invisible Objects it still  
is not visible! I tried the Message Box to see what was going on.  
When I entered the command: Show graphic "g9" and press return, it  
does not show the graphic.

And finally one additional information. The graphs are scripted to  
show up when data has been entered and a checkbox is checked to show  
each graph. Each graph has two graphics. The check box works  
beautifully for the first three graphs but it does not work for the  
fourth graph. If the check box for the third graph is checked and the  
check box for the fourth graph is also checked, then both graphs will  
show. And here is something that is truly weird, if the check box for  
the three graph is NOT checked so it doesn't show the third graph,  
the fourth graph will not be presented despite the checkbox being  
checked!  I have checked the scripts and the properties of the  
graphing code for both graphs 3 and 4 and could find a link to why  
this is happening. I could not find any script that had typos or the  
same variable names either.

I have been working on this problem for three days! I welcome any  
comments or suggestions!! I am using Rev Studio v 2.7.4
