Peter -
Does it make use of the xlusrgal.xls file? I was using that technique
for a while, and now I can't save any new user defined chart types.
If it doesn't use xlusrgal.xls, I'd be appreciative if you sent me a
copy of your routine. delete the caps from the From email.
Thanks,
- Jon

Do your series have many values perhaps. A while ago I put together a
de-link chart routine which seems to work with series of at least 10,000
values, each with long value lengths, say 16 digits. Converts all data on
the chart to named arrays, with a separate routine to reconvert to cells in
same book and reconstruct if required. Not sure if this would overcome your
problem but you're welcome to try if interested.

Jon,
Thank you for the suggestion. I believe my series arrays are being formed
properly; however, when I try to set the formula property, I get the
following error:
(ChtSeries.Formula = ...)
Run Time Error '1004': Unable to set the formula property of the series
class
The string I am trying to store as a formula is 429 characters long. From
what I understand, the limit is 1024 characters. Therefore, I don't know
why
I get an error.
Have you seen this behavior before?

I have a template with several embedded linked charts. After updating
values
in the linked workbook, I wish to update my charts and then break all
links
(so that further changes in the linked workbook are not reflected in
the
charts).
I have tried, for example:
ActiveWorkbook.BreakLinks Name:=linkFileName,
Type:=xlLinkTypeExcelLinks
This does not seem to have any impact on the chart links.
I have also tried converting each chart series into an array; however,
each
formula requires significanly more than 256 characters to accurately
generate
the chart.
I have thought about converting each chart into an image after
updating, but
I am not sure how to code something like this. Any suggestions or
methods of
breaking chart links would be greatly appreciated!
