Which command did you use to produce the chart? I can think of 5 ways to produce a bar chart in SPSS--Chart Builder using the GGRAPH command, Interactive graphics using the IGRAPH command, Legacy Graphics using the GRAPH command, Frequencies using the FREQUENCIES command, or activating a pivot table and selecting the Create Graph menu item.
