Those are distances in pixels. Ignore the #, which is a throwback to an
ancient dialect of Basic.

When working with chart positions and sizes, I prefer to work with the
ChartObject, and to use absolute properties .Left, .Top, .Width, and .Height
than relative properties like .IncrementLeft or .ScaleWidth.

Sorry to double post but i was wondering what the third and fourth lines
mean
(i.e what does the 866# and 300# mean)?

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 2").IncrementLeft 866#
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 2").IncrementTop 300#

Yeah i think you are the right track. This program generates
approximately
50
diffent sheets which data for specific sities. While i run the
program, i
can
see charts being generated but after the program is done running and
it
saves
to my drive; i can not find my cahrts when i open the sheet.
Each sheet generates 25 different charts that are in a certain order
and
place. This is what by placing each in a specific place in teh excel
sheet.

Not sure what you mean by this

The program generates but after it moves the cahrts i
can not find them.

Do you mean code can no longer find the chart in future attempts, ie
the
chart does not exist on the sheet, or you cannot visually locate it.

What do you mean by "specific area". Following is a guess at what
you are
after

Sub test()
Dim cel As Range
Dim chtObj As ChartObject

Set chtObj = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1")

Set cel = Range("D4")

With cel
chtObj.Left = cel.Left
chtObj.Top = cel.Top
End With

End Sub

How do you move a specific chart to specific area. Here is the
original
code
(done in 2003 format). The program generates but after it moves
the
cahrts
i
can not find them.

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 2").IncrementLeft 866#
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 2").IncrementTop 300#
