I am using RB Prof. on Windows XP Prof.

I get the data from Oracle on a Unix server, store it in an array, add it to a new EXCEL worksheet, and then create a 3-dimensional linear graph using the following code which I found in an example project:

Chart = Book.Charts.Add
Chart.ChartType = -4101
Chart.SetSourceData Book.Sheets("Data for Graph").Range(Rng),2
Chart.Location 2, "Data for Graph"
Excel.ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 1").IncrementTop 90.0

I am searching for documentation or examples of how to change the ChartType (-4101) to other chart types. I would also like to find documentation for commands similar to Excel.ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 1").IncrementTop 90.0 in order to move the graph left or right on the page. And, I would like to find documentation or examples to change chart title, series, legend, and category values.

The reference manual says to use the help for VBA in EXCEL, but my EXCEL in Office 10 on XP writes macros that simply will not work in RB. All the examples I have found are written for Visual Basic, and I don't know the proper syntax to make them work in RB. There must be RB documentation or examples somewhere that can help me learn how to do this.

Can anyone help?

Thank you.
Ruth Watkins
