Default Controlling image filenames during "Save As Webpage" ...

Hi Greg,

ActiveChart.Export Your_File_Path&Name, FilterName:="GIF"

Best Regards

Bill

Hi!

We're using Excel to generate images of charts that go to

our user manuals.
Basically, we create the charts as embedded objects in a

worksheet, then
choose "Save As Webpage" to force Excel to save those

charts as GIF images.
The GIF images are numbered sequentially (e.g.,

image001.gif, image002.gif,
etc.). Our problem is, the filenames don't seem to

correspond to the correct
order of the charts. For example, we have 40 charts in

the page, and the
image filename generated for the first chart (going from

top to bottom) is
"image004.gif" instead of "image001.gif". Does anyone

know if there is any
way to control this so that we are able to

programmatically identify the
correct filenames?

Also, is there a way to have Excel save the images as BMP

instead of GIF?

Thank you so much for your help.

Greg
