Hi,

Are we talking about a chart? How are you drawing the coordinates, normally
Excel does that automatically when you make a chart? When you say you are
entering the full name and series - what are you entering and where? Do you
mean by series a range? Are you working with a drawing or a chart? Where is
the filename replaced by [0] - if you were able to open it, are you able to
see it and is its name still myspreadsheet.xls, or is it [0].xls or just [0]?
And finally when you say the drawing doesn't work - drawings don't do
anything, so how do they not work?

Are you mixing up drawings, such as circles and rectangles, with charts?

I draw series of coordinates. I select the coordinates by means of Select
Data. If I enter the full file name and the series the drawings is fine
however when I close the excel file and reopen, the file name has been
replaced by [0] and the drawing does not work anymore.

What does the [0] stand for and how can I stop it?
