Problem increasing .PlotArea.Height value
Hello,
I do have some vba code that draws a chart and that resizes the chart so that it fits exactly to predefined (width and length) values. I do have an issue with the following code: Do While .PlotArea.InsideHeight < 496 .PlotArea.Height = .PlotArea.Height + 1 Loop Since I can't set .PlotArea.InsideHeight directly, I increase ..PlotArea.height until .PlotArea.InsideHeight reaches the predefined value. The issue that I am having is the following: on my developement PC, the code works fine with my default printer (HP LaserJet 1010). When I run the code on a different PC (using a Xerox printer) the loop, keeps looping, and .PlotArea.Height remains at some value and does not increase even if it keeps executing the increment line. On this same PC, if I change the default printer to a HP LaserJet 4L, the code works fine. The default page for both printers is set to A4. I tried to run the code on yet a different PC, using the same printers, and there it loops indefinitely regardless of the default printer. I wonder if someone could tell me which parameter (printers, regional settings,...) might influence the behavior of this code ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Xavier |

Problem increasing .PlotArea.Height value
Hi,
Your code will loop if the plotarea.height can not be increased any futher than 496. This maybe because the chartarea is not large enough to accommodate it. Add a variable to the loop that checks whether the plotarea height changes between loops.

Problem increasing .PlotArea.Height value
Hi Andy,
the code you suggest is what allowed me to pinpoint the erratic behavior (didn't want to copy too much code in order to remain as clear as possible). I'll follow your suggestion and have a look at the chartarea. Do you know how does the chartarea relates to the default printer (or regional settings, or ???) ?

Problem increasing .PlotArea.Height value
Hello Andy,
following your advise, I checked my code for whatever might influence the behavior of the chartarea. I found out that I was incorrectly setting margins in my code. The effect of this was not noticeable on my default printer, but well on some other brands/models. I rewrote my code using things like ".BottomMargin = Application.CentimetersToPoints(0.5)" and everything works as expected now. Thanks again for the hint ! Xavier "Xavier" wrote in message ...
