Lars:
Why not to select chart directly? Much better. As an
example have my procedure, which sets the height and width
of the selected chart by input values. Selected can be the
same chart elements as you normally use. It is enabled by
means of Parent property. You can set analogous Chart
properties (.Axes etc.) in the same way.

Sub ChartSize()
'Sets the dimensions of selected chart in mm
Dim ErrMsg As String, MB As Long
Const PointSize = 2.83, TMB = "Chart size"
On Error GoTo NoSelection
Set S = Selection.Parent
If S.Type < -4169 Then ErrMsg = "No chart": GoTo ErrExit
ChartHeight = InputBox("Height /mm", TMB, 85)
If ChartHeight = "" Then Exit Sub
ChartWidth = InputBox("Width /mm", TMB, 100)
If ChartWidth = "" Then Exit Sub
ErrMsg = "Incorrect object"
On Error GoTo ErrExit
S.Parent.Height = ChartHeight * PointSize
S.Parent.Width = ChartWidth * PointSize
GoTo EndExit
NoSelection:
ErrMsg = "Nothing"
ErrExit:
MB = MsgBox(ErrMsg & " was selected", vbCritical, TMB)
EndExit:
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Hi

I have made this workbook with 4 diagrams in each sheet
(Diagram 1, Diagram
2 etc.). I have made the following macro, so you can
manually set x and y
values. Now I want to know how I can decide (as first
inputbox) what diagram
I want my manual x and y values to refer to. I was
thinking of a list where
I could choose between 4 names and then each name refers
to one of the
diagrams (Diagram 1, etc.).

Here is my code:

Sub x_y_akser()

' x_y_akser Makro
' Makro indspillet 21-08-2003 af LPN

Program:
On Error GoTo fejlzone

ymin = Application.InputBox("Indtast min på Y-
asken", "Minimum Y")
ymax = Application.InputBox("Indtast max. på Y-
aksen", "Maximum Y")
mellemrum = Application.InputBox("Indtast mellemrum på Y-
aksen", "Mellemrum
på Y-aksen")
xmin = Application.InputBox("Indtast min. på X-
aksen", "Minimum X")
xmax = Application.InputBox("Indtast max. på X-
aksen", "Maximum X")
mellemrumx = Application.InputBox("Indtast mellem på X-
aksen", "Mellemrum på
X-aksen")
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Diagram 1").Activate
With ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue)
.MinimumScale = ymin
.MaximumScale = ymax
.MinorUnit = mellemrum
.MajorUnit = mellemrum
.Crosses = xlCustom
.CrossesAt = ymin
.ReversePlotOrder = False
.ScaleType = xlLinear
.DisplayUnit = xlNone
End With

.MajorUnit = mellemrumx

.CrossesAt = xmin
.ReversePlotOrder = False
.ScaleType = xlLinear
.DisplayUnit = xlNone
End With
Range("a1").Select
Exit Sub
