Charts.add stopped working

[Guest]

Hi all

I programmed an application which adds a chart to a sheet with a simple:

Range("A1:B3").Select
Charts.Add

But now excel gives me a Runtime Error 1004 while creating the chart.

However, if I set up a chart manually and record the macro it does the
exact same thing. if I run the macro afterwards, I still get the 1004!

Any suggestions are welcome

Thanks in advance

Carlo

Hi,

What do the cells A1:B3 contain?

Cheers

Which line fails? If you created a chart sheet and it is still active, the
Range.Select line will fail with an RTE 1004.

Hi Andy

just found out, that someone protected the workbook instead of the
worksheets, now everything works fine.

Thanks anyways, appreciate the help very much.

Kind regards

Hi Andy

Column A contains the Titles
Column B contains Numbers
like

A B
abc 60%
def 30%
ghi 10%

As said, if the chart is created manually everything works fine!

Thanks for the reply

Carlo
