Legend moves across chart
 

I have a line chart. When I change some specific values, a
macro is executed automatically. It changes the minimum and
maximum values on the horizontal axis, and also the number
format:
..MinimumScale=...
..MaximumScale=...
..TickLabels.NumberFormat=...

But then, the rectangle containing the legends moves. A few
pixels up, or to the left. Every time.

In the Format Legent screen, Placement tab, "Right" is
marked, and stays marked.

I suppose the macro is responsible, but I am not sure. How
do I fix that ?

Small error I made in my first post: it's an XY (Scatter) chart.

Hi,

I could not reproduce the problem from your description, although I have
seen it in the past.

Why not read the top and left properties of the legend at the beginning
of your macro and set them at the end if they have changed.

Cheers
Andy

Hi,

Can you email me the file, do not attached to this newsgroup.

I haven't seen this when the numbers in cells where modified and as I
said I can not get you code to re create the problem.

Cheers

How do I do that ? It took me a couple of hours to figure out how to
program the number format. Could you tell me how to modify my code,
please ?
With graphique.Chart.Axes(xlCategory)
.MinimumScale = premPointComp
.MaximumScale = dernPointComp
.TickLabels.NumberFormat = formatNombres
End With

Thanks for your reply

PS: More on the symptoms
There's no problem until the macro is executed. The problem shows
afterwards when I modify a cell, even if that doesn't trigger the macro.
