John, That was a great try but it also did not work, even when I tried
several variations. I even tried rebooting the pc and creating a completely
new file and chart just in case. Thanks for trying.

Would this work . . hopefully the effect is to disconnect the source range
and then connect it again. As a result, the chart refreshes without having
to perform a recalculation:

Sub ResetSourceData()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 70").Activate
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
ActiveChart.Delete
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B8:C11")
End Sub

Thanks John, but neither worked. I even tried several variations of your
commands with no help. I know the chart is working correctly because I can
calculate the worksheet and the chart updates fine but that is not an option.
Please let me know if you have any other ides.

Carl,

Please try one of these:

Sub RefreshChart1()
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 70").Activate
ActiveChart.Refresh
End Sub

or

Sub RefreshChart2()
Dim Cht As Chart
Set Cht = ActiveChart
Cht.Refresh
End Sub

I am trying to refresh a chart in an Excel 2000 worksheet without
recalculating the whole worksheet. Tried using the following syntax to no
avail (this is not a pivot chart):

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 70").Select
ActiveChart.Refresh

Thanks,
Carl
