Default Creating Chart Dynamically (It is Driving Me Nuts)

OK, I admit I am not a programmer, but god knows I am trying. I am
trying to create a chart via a command button and it works but every
time I activate it, it gives me the same dam chart.
I change some data point and re activate same chart again and it drops
the series name also, can some body give me some insight. I have
formulated the code below with macros that I cleaned up.
