after this line
ngName = normalgraph.Name
add
sChtObjName = normalgraph.Parent.Name
If all you want to do is move it with in the same routine as you created it,
simply
With normalgraph.Parent
..Left = 10
..Top = 20
' .width & .height if necessary
End With
However, no need to first add a chart sheet, add the chartobject to the
requisite sheet, sized to suit, eg
Sub test2()
Dim chtObj As ChartObject
Dim cht As Chart
Dim cell As Range
Set cell = ActiveSheet.Range("B3")
With cell
Set chtObj = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add(.Left, .Top, 300, 200)
End With
Set cht = chtObj.Chart
With cht
' build the chart
End With
End Sub

Given the code below, does anyone have any suggestions on how to
obtain the active chart/chartobject's name so that I can address
Shape(name) properly when I try ot move the shape?
Code:
Sub LT(wbname As String, wsname As String) ' Graphing Lifetime
Results
Dim normalgraph As Chart ' normal graph variable
Dim regressgraph As Chart ' regression graph
variable
Dim twoGraphs As ChartObjects 'Chartobjects for
embedded charts
Dim ngName As String 'normal graph name for moving
the chart
Dim rgName As String 'regression graph name for
moving the chart
Dim i As Long ' loop counter
Dim colEnd As Long ' end of a column
Workbooks(wbname).Sheets(wsname).Activate 'activate
worksheet of interest
Let colEnd = Range("c2").End(xlDown).Row
' Select data range
Range(Cells(2, 2), Cells(colEnd, 6)).Select
' insert new graph for showing Fuel cell voltage, flow,
temperature,
' and fuel cell current
Set normalgraph = Charts.Add
Set normalgraph = normalgraph.Location(whe=xlLocationAsObject,
Name:=wsname)
ngName = normalgraph.Name
'more code
Thanks!
