I think you will probably need CRChart by ThreeD Graphics (www.threedgraphics.com). AFAIK, it's written by the guys who supply the charting module to Crystal, so integrates 100%, even if it's a bit fiddly.

It's a bit pricey (more than CR!), but if you need that functionality, it's about your only option. I've bought it do add a 'your average' linesymbol and 'everyone's average' linesymbol to a chart.

Essentially, it uses macros to plot user defined lines, box fills, shapes etc onto your chart.

You put something like this into the text fields of the chart:

@user_line 0,0,3,100 = draw a line from the 0,0 point to the 3rd group, 50th y-value.

You can use variable to define these points, so if you have a chart in a group, it'll display a different line position for each group.
