SYMPTOMS
In the versions of Microsoft Excel listed above, the Programming in Visual Basic Help file states the following about the HasLegend argument for the ChartWizard Method:

Optional. True to include a legend.

This information implies that if the HasLegend argument is omitted, the chart will be created without a legend. This information is incorrect.



WORKAROUND

This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To include a legend in the chart, either omit the HasLegend argument or include the argument as in the following example: HasLegend:=True -or- HasLegend:=1 To create a chart without a legend, use one of the following two methods.

Method 1: Omit the HasLegend argument of the ChartWizard method and include the following line after the ChartWizard statement: ActiveChart.HasLegend = False Method 2: Set the HasLegend argument of the ChartWizard Method as follows: HasLegend:=2 NOTE: Setting the HasLegend argument of ChartWizard to FALSE will result in the following error message:

Run-time error '1004':

ChartWizard method of Chart class failed
