Hi Andy

Nevermind, they'll just have to do some work for a change!!! Thanks for all
your help.

Hi Andy

That seems to be working like a dream! Thank you very much.

One final thing, is there a way of capturing the name of the chart template
selected by the user from the dialog box? The reason is because in anyone
session the user is likely to be using the same template. If I can identify
which one they have selected then I can store it in a global or static
variable so the user only needs to select it once per session.

Thanks again
Andy

Hi,

Sorry I should have pointed out you need to have the chart active for
the dialog to show without the error.

Cheers

Hi Andy

Unfortunately not, I'm not sure why but I get a run-time error 1004 and the
message 'Show method of Dialog failed'. I guess this is the dialog box that
is displayed but might it have to be opened as part of the main chart type
selection dialog rather than just on its own?

Thanks

Hi all

I have a macro that applies a user-defined chart template to a basic chart.
Ideally I would like to be able to do one of the following:

1. Take a constant/variable that contains the name of the template and
compare this against a list of available user-defined templates to see if it
exists.

and/or

2. Create a user form (which I think I can do) that is basically a stripped
down version of the xlDialogChartType dialog box and just contains a list of
available user-defined templates for the user to select. I would prefer not
to use the 'official' dialog box as it involves clicking through several tabs
to get to the user-defined list (unless you can get it to display that
straight away of course)., which may not seem like too much of a chore but
the users will be running this a lot so it will get frustrating.

Thank you for any help

Andy
