Default chart legen moves!

I've created a data set that is linked to a line graph (chart). I have
a macro, using a user form, that changes the values of the dataset, via
a function parameter, depending on what indicator the user wants to see
in the graph. The idea is to have a dynamic graph, something like the
functionality included in a pivotchart without requiring the user to
know how to use a pivotchart (I'm dumbing down my spreadsheet to be
accomodating). The problem I am running into is with formatting the
chart. The number of series in the chart can be between 1-8, but I've
set it up so that it will just display the blank series if the count is
fewer than 8. It is just simpler than trying to adjust the series
displayed every time the user changes the spreadsheet. What's
happening is every time I save the spread sheet, the legend moves,
slowing creeping toward the top of the chart area. If I set the
placement in the legend properties, the other parts of the chart area
resize to a less desirable configuration. Anyway I can stop this
legend creep or do I have to set the placement and deal with the
smaller plot area it creates? Also, if anyone knows some VBA code to
hide/show a series in the chart, that could help too!

Thanks.
