Default Labeling points on a line chart

I have a chart that has 5 lines that track the error percent for specific
tables in our data conversion. I have some code that pulls in the date when
it goes out and populates the data series - and I would like for each date to
be the label for each of the data points on the chart.

Is it possible to specify what the labels should be? I can hardcode them
ahead of time or make the labels a series of some sort, but I'm not sure how.

Any help would be appreciated!

Put the labels in a range in your worksheet (your code could put the
timestamp by every measurement). Then use a utility like one of these to
apply labels in this range to the points:

Rob Bovey's Chart Labeler, http://appspro.com/Utilities/ChartLabeler.htm
John Walkenbach's Chart Tools,
