Change Gradient Fill Colors of Bar Chart data points

[PaulPW]

I’m trying to modify the gradient fill colors of single data points on a bar
charts (in Excel 2007). The bar chart already has gradient fills defined
manually.
I think I need to alter different child properties of .Interior, not the
..ColorIndex property that would apply to non-gradient fills. I’ve waded
through the object model and help file and tried all kind of syntaxes, but
can’t get at the gradient without raising an error such as “Run-time error
‘1004′: Application-defined or Object-defined error†or “Run-time error
‘438′: Object doesn’t support this property or methodâ€. Recording a macro of
my setting this manually doesn’t help me since Excel does not record any of
these steps in VBA!!
I have tried the following:
..Interior.Gradient.InteriorGradientStop(1).GradientStopColorIndex= RGB(a,b,c)
..Interior.InteriorGradientStop(1).GradientStopColorIndex= RGB(a,b,c)
..Interior.Gradient.Colorstops(1).ColorIndex = RGB(a,b,c)
(all the above with ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(1) either
referenced or selected)
..Gradient.ColorStops.Clear raises an error as well!

I’m sure this is something simple, but I just can’t get it!
Any help much appreciated.
