when I create a chart for the first time,
I cannot get to any of the
Chart.SeriesCollection(1).ErrorBars.Border properties.
They all come up "unable to get XXX property of the border class"
then next time I draw a chart, everything is fine.
I even tried the following before trying to set these properties:
Excel.ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart.Refresh
Calculate
but still cannot see the chart border properties.

Anyone have any ideas?

thanks
