Hi All,

The code posted below works in XL2003 and changes a 'happy smiley
face' into a 'frowning smiley face'. I know its sad (forgive the pun)
but can anybody tell me how to code this in XL2007?

It really is annoying that the macro recorder does not work for
charts, shapes etc in XL2007.


Sub test_smiley()
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Smiley Face 22").Select
Selection.ShapeRange.Adjustments.Item(1) = 0.7181
End Sub

All help gratefully received

Regards

Michael

Hi,

looks like the range of adjustment is +/- 0.005

Function Smile()
'
With ActiveSheet.Shapes(1)
.Adjustments.Item(1) = -0.05 ' full frown
DoEvents
MsgBox "Frowning"
.Adjustments.Item(1) = 0.05 ' full smile
End With
'
End Function

Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

Your solution worked fine. How did you find out what metrics to use ie
+0.05 & -0.05?

I thoroughly inspected the online help and couldn't find anything and
resorted to using the macro recorder in XL2003 to get the code l
posted.

Hi,

I just experimented some code linked to a slider with the values +/-1
which allowed me to deduce the actual range of values.

Cheers
Andy
