If it's an XY or Line chart that doesn't already have valid data for the
XValues or Values (such that the series is not plotted), you may get this

Using Powerbuilder, I get an the following error:

Error accessing external object property xvalues at line 88......

My code is very simple:

ole_excel.Worksheets(l_engine).Activate //Ok
ole_excel.ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Activate //Ok
ole_excel.ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "Engine " +
string(l_engine) //Ok
ole_excel.ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "=Engine"+
string(l_engine) + "!R2C1:R2C" + string(l_values) //Error!!!

I have Microsoft Office 2003 Installed in my machine.

Why I could not access XValues of SeriesCollection.

Have tried doing it running a macro in Excel directly with no luck.

Any help would be gladly apreciated.- Hide quoted text -

Thanks, for your help. I have already found the answer myself. The
syntax is right what is wrong is the amount I was passing in the
column. Excel has columns limited to no more than 256 and rows no
more
than 65,536.

The error occurred when I tried to put a value on column 257+, So I
change the way we save input the data into excel from columns to rows
which has more space (65,536),


Thanks anyways, hope this will help somebody in the future.
