How about when creating the chart assign to object var

sub CreateChart
dim chMyChart

set chMyChart = Charts.Add
....
....


You can then refer to the chart as a variable.

Other options include looping through all the chart objects in a sheet-
something like

Dim chMyChart

For Each chMyChart In ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
.....
Next
....
