I eventually solved my problem, simply using "On Error Resume Next",
capturing the error number if it existed, then opening the range
manually via selection.

It is less than ideal, but my attempts to use the ChartObject for
embedded charts was not fruitful.

If interested, visit my website and find it among my Excel VBA
offerings.
