Hi Marie -

After this line, resize the Plot Area:

Set CurrentChart = Blad102.ChartObjects(ChartNum).Chart

like this:

With CurrentChart.PlotArea
.Left = 0
.Top = 0
.Width = CurrentChart.ChartArea.Width
.Height = CurrentChart.ChartArea.Height
End With

You may need to adjust slightly, to allow room for the legend, chart title, or axis
titles.

Hi there,

I have this code in a userform and get with it a picture in the same size as
the chartobject - to small. I want a much larger (fill the screen as much as
possible). I can easily solve it by changing size of the chartobject before
export to gif, but i dno't want to do that. I want to change the size of the
gif during or after importing it by LoadPicture.

How?

Help = Forever happy

/Regards

Dim ChartNum As Integer

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Debug.Print "frmPPT initilize "
ChartNum = 1
UpdateChart
End Sub

Private Sub UpdateChart()
Set CurrentChart = Blad102.ChartObjects(ChartNum).Chart

' Save chart as GIF
Fname = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "temp.GIF"
CurrentChart.Export Filename:=Fname, FilterName:="GIF"

' Show the chart
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(Fname)

End Sub
