This happens to me as well. I've made a half attempt to get an answer from
Microsoft tech support, but with no luck.

I wonder if it might occur in workbooks where data is retrieved from an
outside source. Has that been your experience?

I have many linked workbooks but never bring in data from outside EXCEL. I
have not been able to determine what triggers the sheet tabs to revert to the
generic labels.

I don't know if you saw it but another person with the same problem filed a
post on the 19th. Perhaps we should form a group to compare notes and see if
we can figure this out. Were your problem workbooks created in an earlier
version of Excel?

Thanks for your input. I read the posts on the same problem that started on
10/19. Someone there has filed a report with Microsoft.
To answer your question--yes ,these workbooks and charts were originally
created with Excel 97.

I'm having the same problem. I created the workbook from scratch to make
sure it wasn't a conversion problem and it still exists. It's been there
since the beta and I reported it then.

I have had this same problem. The problem charts were created in Excel 2007
and are not from an updated version of excel. I also have data imported from
other excel sheets although no data from outside of excel. The charts are
saved as macro enabled although I am not running any macros.

David and Madrugador

I think it's clear that Microsoft has known there is a problem, even if not
affecting a lot of people, for some time. Rather than trying to do what they
should have done [uncovering the cause of the problem], do you think that it
might be a better use of our time if we figure out the most pain-free way to
update/recreate these files so that Excel treats them as workbooks created in
Excel 2007, rather than an earlier version?

I created the worksheets in Excel 2007 and encountered the problem. I do
have links to other worksheets. Is it possible that the formats of the other
sheets is "imported" to the problem sheet?

Our office just updated to 2007, and the three people I work with and I are
having the same problem. We use Excel all the time every day, and we have a
lot of macros built around our data and graphing that uses the chart names to
navigate, and this is killing us!

If anyone get any clearificationor figure out how to fix this, please let us
all know.

Thanks!
