Default Error with Using Macro for XYScatter plots

Hi all,
I am trying to create a XY plotter graph for my experiment using VB 6.
My excel sheet has x1,x2,x3 data in the 1,3,5 columns and y1,y2,y3
data in the 2,4,6 columns to plot my 3 series.The first row has the
parameter names. i recorded a macro in excel and tried using it in Vb6
to chart the graph.
This is my code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim xlObject
Dim xlWB
Set xlObject = New Excel.Application
'To open the selected excel file
Set xlWB = xlObject.Workbooks.Open(CommonDialog1.FileName)
Range("A1:H1").Select
Selection.ClearContents

Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatterSmooth
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "='200648500DC820'!C1"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "='200648500DC820'!C2"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).XValues = "='200648500DC820'!C3"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(2).Values = "='200648500DC820'!C4"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(3).XValues = "='200648500DC820'!C5"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(3).Values = "='200648500DC820'!C6"
ActiveChart.Location Whe=xlLocationAsObject,
Name:="200648500DC820"
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1").Activate
xlObject.DisplayAlerts = True

'To close Excel

xlWB.Close
xlObject.Application.Quit
Set xlWB = Nothing
Set xlObject = Nothing



MsgBox ("Done")


It gives an error : Unable to set the Xvalues property of the series
class.
I have three series and dont want to give range..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Anu


End Sub
