VBA cannot even distinguish between X and Y error bars when formatting. They
didn't hook up error bars into the object model very tightly.

Thanks so much! < /sarcasm I had a feeling that was it.

This is not possible in VBA, at least not without using SendKeys*. VBA
cannot read the values of the error bars, and doesn't even know there are
separate X and Y error bars in an XY chart. In the UI you can select the
X
and Y error bars and format them separately, but VBA only has an
ErrorBars
property, and therefore must format X and Y error bars identically.

*You could use the much maligned (and deservedly so) SendKeys method to
select the data range for the error bars in the error bar dialog's input
boxes. I've never been desperate enough to try this.

Obviously there's room for improvement.

I'd like to programmatically extract the error bar definition for a
bunch
of
series within a chart. I can get the series formula using

.SeriesCollection(k).Formula

What do I need to use to get the error bar definition?

Thanks
