Hi,

I added a chart to my workbook using the Sheets.Add command, with the "Type"
parameter set to xlChart.

But when I walk through the sheets in my workbook and check the "Type" of
each, it tells me that my chart is an xlExcel4MacroSheet instead of an
xlChart. According to help, xlChart has a value of -4109 and
xlExcel4MacroSheet has a value of 3. When I query the Type property of the
new Chart I created, VBA says the value is 3, not -4109. Seems like xlChart
is set to the wrong value; should it be 3 rather than -4109? Then again, if
I add a new sheet using the value of 3 for the type parameter, I get a new
worksheet, not a chart.

Anyone know what's going on? We were failing to process a lot of charts
because the wrong value was coming back. Following is a code snippet
showing my problem:

Sub AddNewChart()
Dim x As Variant
Set x = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(Type:=xlChart)
x.Name = "NewChart"
End Sub

Sub CheckSheetType()
Debug.Print ThisWorkbook.Sheets("NewChart").Type
End Sub

Immediate Window shows "3"
