Consider revising your For-Next statement to the following (also note that
this procedure should perform more efficiently as it does not use a "Select"
statement):

Sub AlignDataLabels()
On Error Resume Next
Dim Cnt As Long
Set Srs = ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(3)
With Srs
For Cnt = 1 To .Points.Count
Srs.Points(Cnt).DataLabel.Top = 52
Next
End With
End Sub

I am creating a series of column charts, and I would like to move all the
data labels in a series to the top of the chart (above the column and evenly
spaced)

The VBA code to do so for any individual point in the series is:

' ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(3).Points(1).DataLabe l.Select
' Selection.Top = 52

I would like to automate this to do it for every point in the
seriescollection, and have tried the following:

Sub LabelsToTop()

For Each Points In ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(4)
DatalLabel.Select
Selection.Top = 52
Next

End Sub

But get an Object Variable Error Messge. Does anyone know the correct
sytax ? I am using Excel 2000 with SP-3

Thanks
