'ThisWorkbook' is just the default code name for the Workbook object. It
rarely works in my applications because I change it to something more
meaningful.

If the code exists in the Chart sheet's code module, you can use "Me"

Private Sub Chart_Activate()
MsgBox Me.Name
End Sub

Is there a way to programatically determine a chart object's name when
it's not active? ThisWorkbook provides access to the name of the
workbook that contains the code without it having to be the active
workbook. I would like to be able to get the name of the chart object
that contains the macro code even when it's not the active chart.

I have a macro that I want to use as a template to copy to a chart
object's code page that will only run if that chart is active. I'm
trying to get around having to change the chart name in the code every
time I copy it to a new chart object.
