Default XY Chart Label - second request for help

AFAIK, Rob's utility doesn't have convenient hooks for external VBA routines
to use. I've frequently rolled my own routine to apply labels. This tends to
be smaller than Rob's without as much error handling, and is specific to the
particular solution I'm working on. Essentially it finds the range based on
whatever VBA or Name/Refers To definitions you use, and goes cell by cell to
apply the labels and if desired the formats.

Need the help up of the Excel gurus..

I'm using Rob Bovey's XY Chart labeler to label a Red, Yellow, and Green
XY
chart.

By the way...this add-in is great!!!

The data for the charts are built from dynamic named ranges for both X and
Y. I have a helper column for the labels that is a dynamic named range as
well. All data is linked to an MS Access db.

Here's what I'm trying to do:
The data for the charts will change whenever I load the file with new data
and was wondering if anyone knew how to create a macro to call up the Add
In
and place the dynamic named range in the "... Label Range" field for each
Red, Yellow, and Green data series.

I would then repeat this macro for each XY chart in the file.

Many many thanks in advance.
