Mike -

Does the BP series have any data in it? If it's all blank, you won't be
able to select it.

Very grateful for any help.

Sub Reformat()

Dim iSrsCt As Integer, iSrsIx As Integer

iSrsCt = ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Count

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For iSrsIx = 1 To iSrsCt

Select Case ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(iSrsIx).Name

Case "BP"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(iSrsCx).Select ERROR HERE
With Selection.Border
.ColorIndex = 4
.Weight = xlMedium
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
End With

Case "ESSO"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(iSrsIx).Select
With Selection.Border
.ColorIndex = 1
.Weight = xlMedium
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
End With

End Select
Next

End sub

This may be a stupid question, but....
on your line:
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(iSrsCx).Select ERROR HERE

Do you mean to have iSrsCx or iSrsIx.... just asking cuz you didn't
dim it and you dimmed everything else.
