Is this the proper order for creating a shart, or am I missing some thing
else?

xlapp.Workbooks(strXlsFile).Charts.Add.Location whe=xlLocationAsObject,
Name:=strSheetName
xlapp.Workbooks(strXlsFile).Charts.Add.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
xlapp.Workbooks(strXlsFile).ActiveChart.SetSourceD ata Source:= _
xlapp.Workbooks(strXlsFile).Worksheets(j + 1).Cells(1, 3),
PlotBy:=xlColumns
xlapp.Workbooks(strXlsFile).ActiveChart.HasLegend = False
xlapp.Workbooks(strXlsFile).ActiveChart.ApplyDataL abels
Type:=xlDataLabelsShowValue

I am rather new to the world of Excel charting... any help is appreciated!
