Hi,

I write a simple Perl script that takes data from files, processes it and
then, using Excel Automation, dumps the data into worksheets and creates
charts with the data.

I'm playing with programatically setting 3D properties of an area series
when I get the message: "Complex formatting that is applied to the selected
chart may take a while to display. Do you want to continue using the
formatting?". The message is somewhat bogus as the time taken to the display
the formatting is negligible.

The problem is that I learnt a while ago to disable DisplayAlerts,
Interactive and ScreenUpdating, yet I still get this message. Is there a
specific way to circumvent this or should I just avoid 3D formatting?

Thanks,

Warren
