I want to copy an embedded chart from one worksheet to another worksheet
in a different workbook and maintain the pasted chart focus. My code
snipit:

'The chart I am copying from is called Total Amounts
ActiveChart.Parent.Name = "Total Amounts"
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy 'Copy the chart

'I delete any existing charts on the destination worksheet
Dim nChart As Integer

For nChart = 1 To
Workbooks("TotalsBook").Worksheets("A-F").ChartObjects.Count
If Workbooks("TotalsBook").Worksheets("A-F").ChartObjects(nChart).Name
= "Total Amounts" Then
Workbooks("TotalsBook").Worksheets("A-F").ChartObjects(nChart).Delete
Exit For
End If
Next nChart

'I paste the chart on the new worksheet
Workbooks("TotalsBook").Worksheets("A-F").Paste

The problem is, the chart name for the pasted chart is not Total
Amounts but the default chart name. I want to be able to select the
chart so I can reposition and resize etc, but I can't reference it. The
destination workbook Workbooks("TotalsBook").Worksheets("A-F") contains
many charts, so I can't just select chart 1. Can I copy the source
chart and paste it in the new workbook and maintain the chart name?

Thank you in advance for any input given on this topic.
