VBA and Chart Legends (2003 and 2007)
 
I have this snippet of code to update the legends to the bottom of the chart

For Each objCht In WS.ChartObjects
With objCht.Chart
.Legend.Position = xlLegendPositionBottom
End With
Next objCht

If I record this in 2003 OR 2007, I get this

ActiveChart.Legend.Select
Selection.Position = xlBottom

But if I type .Legend.Position in the original snippet,
xlLegendPositionBottom is an option and xlBottom is not an option. In
Office 2007, it appears to Gack on xlLegendPositionBottom and prefers
xlBottom. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Barb Reinhardt

Hi,

Not a bug but a difference between referencing the Legend object position
property and the Selection object.

xlLegendPositionBottom and xlbottom both return the same value, -4107


Cheers
Andy

I'm getting reports that it gives a run time error when
xlLegendPositionBottom is being used.

In my quick test using either constant in both code examples worked.

Do you have more details when failing, such as chart and data type.
