I don't recall the exact problem. I think you get an error, like a formula
references an invalid range, in an existing 2003 chart. In a new 2007 chart,
it just doesn't accept the name as valid source data, and won't dismiss the
dialog.

Jon,

I can put something together to create range names, delete range names and
update the chart series. I don't need assistance with that, but thanks.

What is the symptom in Office 2007? Can you not create range names
starting
with chart? If they are in a chart series, will they not display?

I know this is frustrating. It hardly makes sense to ask why, because the
answer will be along the lines of "because". I think it's probably an
oversight. I don't know of a way to change the charts if they are already
in
2007, but I'm thinking that it might not hurt to try writing a little
macro.... Maybe if you check my blog in a few days.

I have a workbook that has range names starting with Chart and other
range
names that are offset from that one. I'm thinking at least 100 are
affected. I know I can write a macro to change the names, and the
series
that use them, but why can't they start with Chart in Office 2007?
This
is
going to be a lot of work to update.

Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt
