    VBA Question

    Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, but maybe somebody can help.

    I need to write VBA code to create and then resize a chart in Excel. Using the built in macro-recorder I was able to get this code for creating the chart:
    Charts.Add
    ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatterSmoothNoMarkers
    etc... editing changing other properties of the chart.

    Then I tried to resize the chart and got this macro:
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 26").ScaleWidth 1.5, msoFalse, _
    msoScaleFromBottomRight

    The problem is that excel automatically named the chart "Chart 26" If i delete it and make another one it will be "Chart 27".
    The question is: How can I assign a name to a chart, or at least find out the name that was assigned to a chart when I created it?

    Thank you,

    Boris.

    Re: VBA Question

    After "Charts.Add" ...
    Code:
        ActiveSheet.Name = "MyName"
    "MyName" can be any name, or you can use any string variable ...
    Code:
        ActiveSheet.Name = aString
    where "aString" is a predefined string.
    Blessings in abundance,
    All the Best,
    & ENJOY!
