copying a chart
I use the first macro (Tester1) to reproduce your sheet names:
Sub Tester1()
varr = Array("Sales by Store Ch", "Sales (U) Ch", "Sales ($) Ch", "Chart
Data", _
"Total by Store", "Total by Date")
For i = LBound(varr) To UBound(varr)
Sheets(i + 1).Name = varr(i)
Next
End Sub
Then this macro ran fine:
Sub AAA()
Sheets(Array("Sales by Store Ch", "Sales (U) Ch", "Sales ($) Ch", "Chart
Data", _
"Total by Store", "Total by Date")).Copy Befo=Workbooks( _
"KS Summary 6-11-2004.xls").Sheets(1)
End Sub
I suspect you had KS Summary 6-11-2004.xls as the activeworkbook when you
ran your macro. It must be the workbook containing the sheets that you want
to copy.

Tom,
I'm trying to do as you suggested, but can't get my code to work. The
following was generated by the recorder:
Sheets(Array("Sales by Store Ch", "Sales (U) Ch", "Sales ($) Ch", "Chart
Data", _
"Total by Store", "Total by Date")).Select
Sheets("Sales by Store Ch").Activate
Sheets(Array("Sales by Store Ch", "Sales (U) Ch", "Sales ($) Ch", "Chart
Data", _
"Total by Store", "Total by Date")).Copy Befo=Workbooks( _
"KS Summary 6-11-2004.xls").Sheets(1)
I put this into my code, but when I run it I get 'Error 9: subscript out
of range' and the debugger highlights the first "Sheets(Array...." line. I
understand that has something to do with the size of the array, but I'm not
sure how to fix it. I tried defining an array (with 6 elements) and
assigning it to sheets(array.... but that didn't work. (sheets(array....
returns a variant?)
Need a little more help....Thanks.

copy the charts and the data (summary) sheets as a group, then the
charts
will refer to the new location.
You can then go to the data sheets, do a copy of the cells and paste
special
values to remove links created by the summary sheet(s).

I have a large (12+ MB) inventory/sales tracking spreadsheet. I need
to
distribute the summary pages of this spreadsheet on a regular bases
(2-3x a
week probably). I have a macro that will copy paste special (values and
formats) the summary pages, but there are also charts I would like to
copy.
Whenever I copy them, they always refer back to the original
spreadsheet.
Is there a way to copy a chart and have it refer to the same ranges on
the
sheet it is copied onto (these charts are embedded in worksheets, not on
their own sheet). Or do I have to write a macro that will create the
charts
from scratch?
