Charttitle.Text crashes (Excel 2000)

[blackno666]

Hi,

when I try to run the following code (on an existing diagram):

With ActiveChart
Dim globalLstFile as String
globalLstFile = "02 KOBA_XYZ_C3-06214 02- 20.7-20.8°C Touchprobe
Mittelpunkte.lst"

.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Text = "KOBA Sphere Gauge S/N 38 538 (" + globalLstFile +
")" & Chr(10) & _
"color coding: red = Zone 1, green = Zone 2, blue = Zone 3"&
Chr(10) & _
"light color: measurements that contain spheres that are
within 20 cm of the edge of the measurement volume"
....

Excel returns with the error 1004. However, if I set globalLstFile to
"test", then the code runs just fine. I did not find any limitation on
..ChartTitle.Text, but I am suspecting that it is limitied to a certain
number of characters or does not allow special characters.

Any enlightment would be greatly appreciated (sorry for the horrible
formatting of this text).

Hi,

The chart title is restricted to 255 characters. Try manually typing in
a very long string. At 255 it will start to bleep.

Either use an embedded textbox.
Or use both chart title and axis title.

Cheers
