Hello Kirill,

Our managed newsgroup support team still supports the MSDN Subscribers in
the managed newsgroup. Just recently, the server has some issues that it
cannot pick up the MSDN Subscriber posts. The tool team is now working on
this. I am sorry for the inconveniences taken to you.

Based on my understanding to the post, the issue we concern is not related
to the Excel programming Macro, right? It is that we cannot manually select
a point in an Excel chart. And this issue only happens in your Windows 7 and
Excel 2007.

I created a line type chart in my Excel 2007, Windows 7. And if I click a
point, first all points in that series are selected. If I click that point
again, then only that specified point is selected. So it works for me. Are
you reproducing the issue in only one machine or many test machines?

For it is not related to the Excel programming, I think maybe the Excel
chart newsgroup is more appropriate, but that is not a managed newsgroup,

And I would also suggest to
1.Apply all service pack update to the Excel 2007
2.Disable all addins in your Excel 2007 to make sure this issue is not
caused by an addin

Hi,

This may seem like a repost, but I believe that the first post was not
recognized as from MSDN Subscriber. If this message lacks any significant
details, I'll gladly provide them in a reply.

I have a macro that operates on a point, selected on a chart. It works
fine in Excel 2003 on Windows XP, Windows 7, and in Excel 2007 on Windows
XP. However, I can't seem to select a point by clicking on it in Office
2007 on Windows 7.

Sometimes when I select the chart *some* point gets selected, but I can't
change that selection either by clicking on another point or by using the
keyboard (both ways work fine in Excel 2003).

Is there a way to *reliably* select a point on a chart in Excel 2007?

Thank you!

This is really "good news, bad news" situation. I hope issues will be fixed
soon, because I really like the Managed Newsgroups! Side note: if we can
have a "test group" just to verify that aliases work, it would be absolutely
awesome!

Technically, you're right. But as a macro developer I was concerned that my
macro does not work as expected.

It is that we cannot manually select a point in an Excel chart.

On multiple machines, however Excel 2007 and Windows 7 are required.

Thank you for these three suggestions too!

As I replied in the programming group:

Excel charting through 2003 was pretty reliable and the related
interfaces were effective. Excel 2007 changed all that, unfortunately
not for the better.

I've experienced this problem when the chart had a lot of points close
together. It's like the points have a larger envelope than just the
visible marker, and one point's envelope may obscure the next point.

I don't know how to avoid this problem.
