chart cell references do not change when worksheet is copied

I've been on Excel 2007 for two months and I have a recurring problem with
worksheets I coded in Excel 2003. When I copy a worksheet that contains a
chart, the new chart still retrieves its data from cells on the original
sheet. I am trying to create one sheet as a template, then copy it multiple
times, and change the data (and graphs) on each new sheet. Obviously I want
the charts to get the data from the sheets they are on, not the original
sheet. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to fix this?

Did I see this in the other group?

Excel 2007 is broken this way. I believe if you copy the sheet to a new
workbook, then copy it back into the original workbook, the links will be
preserved. If you're going to use this a lot, make a template of this sheet,
and add the new sheet from the template. Even before Excel 2007 introduced
this glitch, it was more robust to use a template sheet.
