Bad idea!

ActiveChart is a built-in Excel object name and refers to the currently
selected chart on a sheet. You should not use that same name for your
variable. Call it something else, like "MyChart" or whatever, just not
ActiveChart.

Did you try just selected a chart on the current worksheet and then running
your original code? If that doesn't work, try Jacob's suggestion.

Thank you. Just tried...

...snippet...Down...
Dim ActiveChart As ChartObject

Set ActiveChart = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 16")
Set rPatterns = ActiveSheet.Range("AR6:BH235")

With ActiveChart
For iSeries = 1 To .SeriesCollection.Count <-- Still Error 91 here

Works fine when you actually have a chart selected. Probably the user did
not have a chart selected, hence "ActiveChart" is not defined. That's what
error 91 is telling you.

I tried setting ..Dim ActiveChart As ChartObject...but it still fails...see

Sub ColorBySeriesName()
Dim rPatterns As Range
Dim iSeries As Long
Dim rSeries As Range

Set rPatterns = ActiveSheet.Range("AR6:BH235")

With ActiveChart
For iSeries = 1 To .SeriesCollection.Count <--- Where Error 91 occurs
Set rSeries = rPatterns.Find(What:=.SeriesCollection(iSeries).Na me)
If Not rSeries Is Nothing Then
.SeriesCollection(iSeries).Interior.ColorIndex = _
rSeries.Interior.ColorIndex
End If
Next
End With
