When I record a macro and, in the process, click on a
chart, the macro code includes the following:

ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 12").Activate

Is there another place to find the number (Chart 12) that
excel has assigned to its charts? I am thinking there
must be a way to get this infomation other than recording
a macro.
 
hold down the control key while clicking to select the chart and you should
see the name in the Name box.
(upper left corner on the formula bar - you need to have the formula bar
visible).
 
Extending Tom's reply, if you are creating the chart programmatically, you could
have your code give it a unique name, which you could access in a subsequent
routine. In fact, you are naming the chart object, so the code looks like:

ActiveChart.Parent.Name = "ChtFinYE04"
