Sorry i probably wasn't very clear with my initial post - i mean if the user
cuts and pastes as per usual, for instance cuts a chart and pastes it to
another sheet in the workbook. I would then want to be able to search for
that chart - but at the moment i cannot see a way of identifying it as the
chart that my original object held.

Here is how I set up my object:
Dim oChartObj As ChartObject
Dim oGridChart As XL3GridChartLib.GridChart

Set oGridChart = New XL3GridChartLib.GridChart
Set oGridChart.ChartObject = oGridChart.Sheet.ChartObjects.Add(200, 3, 280,
175)

the gridchart object then does a bunch of stuff to get all the data it needs

Can you show the code where you do the cut and paste (and the object variable
Dim statements would be helpful also)
