Hi,

I have the following queries with reference to the code modules below :

1) If I first run SetMyRef and then run ExcelChartsToPPT, it works fine. But
if I *call* SetMyRef from the second module the reference to Powerpoint is
not set, and the code aborts. Why is this so ?
2) How should I change my code to late binding for ExcelChartsToPPT ?

Option Explicit

Sub SetMyRef()
Dim R As Variant

For Each R In ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.References
If R.GUID = "{91493440-5A91-11CF-8700-00AA0060263B}" Then
Exit Sub
End If
Next

On Error GoTo NotFound

ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.References.AddFromGuid
"{91493440-5A91-11CF-8700-00AA0060263B}", _
Major:=2, Minor:=7

Exit Sub

NotFound:
MsgBox "CAN'T RUN THIS CODE"

End Sub

Sub ExcelChartsToPPT()

On Error GoTo ErrHandler

Dim PPApp As PowerPoint.Application
Dim PPPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim PPSlide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim SlideCount As Long
Dim iCht As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim Ans As String


Ans = MsgBox("Copy all charts in workbook to Powerpoint ?", vbYesNo +
vbQuestion, "Confirm")
If Ans = vbYes Then GoTo Proceed Else Exit Sub

Proceed:
Set PPApp = CreateObject("Powerpoint.Application")
PPApp.Visible = True
PPApp.WindowState = ppWindowMinimized

' Create active presentation
Set PPPres = PPApp.Presentations.Add
PPPres.Slides.Add 1, ppLayoutTitle

For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count 'All worksheets with embedded charts
needing transfer to PP
For iCht = 1 To Worksheets(i).ChartObjects.Count
' copy chart as a picture
Worksheets(i).ChartObjects(iCht).Chart.CopyPicture _
Appearance:=xlScreen, Size:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture
'xlBitmap can also be used

' Add a new slide and paste in the chart
SlideCount = PPPres.Slides.Count
Set PPSlide = PPPres.Slides.Add(SlideCount + 1, ppLayoutBlank)
PPApp.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide PPSlide.SlideIndex
With PPSlide
' paste and select the chart picture
.Shapes.Paste.Select
' align the chart
PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align
msoAlignCenters, True
PPApp.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align
msoAlignMiddles, True

End With

Next iCht
Next i

PPPres.Slides(1).Select
PPApp.WindowState = ppWindowMaximized

' Clean up
Set PPSlide = Nothing
Set PPPres = Nothing
Set PPApp = Nothing

Exit Sub

ErrHandler: MsgBox "An error occurred; please re-try !", vbInformation

End Sub


Thanks,
