Creating Charts Using Data from another Workbook
 

I am currently trying to write a VBA program that prompts the user to search for a text file. The text file is then opened in a new workbook, has its data arranged into specific columns, and then saves it as a new xls file. Then, the program is supposed to read data from several of the columns, and create a chart based on the data.

Here is the problem. It opens the file, arranges it into columns, saves it as a new workbook, highlights the columns I need to use to make the chart, but then creates a blank chart in the old workbook (the one with the macro in it) and then crashes saying that the data is out of range. How do I make it instead make a new chart in the new workbook, and use the data from the new workbook to make it into a graph (the actual creating of a graph works seperate from the rest of the program).

Creating Charts Using Data from another Workbook
 

Just modify the existing code to do what it is doing in the correct
location.
