Default Setting Source Range For Chart

Try it like this:

Dim LastDataRow As Long
LastDataRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
If LastDataRow = 1 Then
GoTo MyErrorHandler
Else
Sheets("InputSheet").Visible = False
Sheets("Chart1").Visible = True
Sheets("Chart1").Select

With ActiveChart
Set Sh = Workbooks("Main.xls").Sheets("DataSheet")
.SetSourceData Source:=Workbooks("Main.xls"). _
Sh.Range(Sh.Range("C1"), Sh.Range("H" & LastDataRow)), _
PlotBy:=xlColumns
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "Chart"
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Percentage"
.HasAxis(xlCategory, xlPrimary) = True
.HasAxis(xlValue, xlPrimary) = True
.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).CategoryType = xlAutomatic
.HasLegend = False
.HasDataTable = True
.DataTable.ShowLegendKey = True
End With
End If
Exit Sub

MyErrorHandler:
'"Whole bunch of stuff here"
End Sub

I have this macro basically done, I am having a problem with settign the

source range for the chart though. I think it is simply a syntax error but
I am not sure - any advice would be helpful as I am stuck. Here is the part
of the code:

Dim LastDataRow As Long
LastDataRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
If LastDataRow = 1 Then GoTo MyErrorHandler
Else
Sheets("InputSheet").Visible = False
Sheets("Chart1").Visible = True
Sheets("Chart1").Select

With ActiveChart
.SetSourceData

Source:=Workbooks("Main.xls").Sheets("DataSheet"). Range("C1", Range("H" &
LastDataRow)), _
PlotBy:=xlColumns
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "Chart"
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Percentage"
.HasAxis(xlCategory, xlPrimary) = True
.HasAxis(xlValue, xlPrimary) = True
.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).CategoryType = xlAutomatic
.HasLegend = False
.HasDataTable = True
.DataTable.ShowLegendKey = True
End With
End If
Exit Sub

MyErrorHandler:
'"Whole bunch of stuff here"
End Sub

I am getting the error "Mehtod 'Range' of Object '_Global' Failed" on the

..SetSourceData command. And I get some problems with my "if" and "else"
statements. What am I doing wrong - looking at it, it should work, I just
don't know where I am going wrong.

Thanks for any advice,

Jim
