Very annoying behaviour of Excel 2003
Each time I am opening Excel, it is installing some component. This takes several minutes, and becomes very annoying. I recently had to reinstall XP and Office from the distribution CDs. I have the problem since then. It certainly has something to do with the install. Does anyone on this forum ever experienced such a behaviour. I am running Office 2003 on XP SP3. have you tried doing a repair in the help menu? -- Gary Keramidas Excel 2003 "Jean" <Jean@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:020549D4-8070-46ED-8768-821EECD87C88@microsof...

Setting series values on Excel Chart
Hi I'm struggling very hard in getting beyond this error when trying to use VB to generate a chart from data previously inserted into the sheet. Unable to set the Values property of the Series class.

The other (M2) has "Western European ISO" with no automatic selected.
