Darryl: 

Illustrator has only rudimentary graphing capabilities. When you create the graph using the data box, the two are linked. You can change only a few of the display options without ungrouping the graph. If you ungroup you lose the link -- but then anything can be added, changed or removed. The "graph" is now like any other illustration and all the tools will work on it. 

A User suggests using DeltaGraph at http://www.spss.com/deltagraph/ <http://www.spss.com/deltagraph/> for creating graphs in the Windows environment. I�ve not used it but they say it can create EPS output, which would be great. There is a downloadable demo version at that site. Another User suggests Origin as an excellent choice, and not too expensive (see http://www.originlab.com/www/downloads/demo/index.cfm) <http://www.originlab.com/www/downloads/demo/index.cfm)> Origin can export graphs as vector EPS files that are fully editable in Illustrator.
