Default xl2002: Position Picture in SeriesCollection

Hi,

Can you make use of this technique for custom markers?

Hi Joel - thanks for the quick response.
Unfortunately I don't need to 'fill' the series with a picture.

All I need to do is place the picture in the center of the series.
(floating
over the top of the series rather than embedded)

Any ideas?

Does this code help. You don't need to position the picture, the bars
have
fill effects which alow pictures to be inserted into the chart

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Select
Selection.Fill.UserPicture PictureFile:= _
"H:\My Documents\My Pictures\abc.jpg", PictureFormat:=xlStretch,
_
PicturePlacement:=xlAllFaces
Selection.Fill.Visible = True

End Sub

I have a stacked column chart containing several series. I need to
position
a different pre-defined image in the center of each series that appears
in
the charts.

All images are the same size and small enough to fit into the series,
each
image already exists on the sheet, and each image name is sequential
(for
series 1 the image name will be "Pic1".)

Any ideas gratefully received.
