Thanks for the response Patrick and sorry for my slow return but have been
out of town.
I have XP both at home and at work.
At home I have the entire 2007 Office Suite.
Work = just 07 Powerpoint upgrade to the 2003 system. Excel on this is '03.
Problem at work - I can't edit the powerpoint charts and it mentions the
problem with Excel. This Excel is '03 and I don't open it.
At home when I edit these same charts Excel opens automatically when I edit.
But the "refresh chart" button doesn't allow me to use it.
Hope this is clearer.
Bill
