What I have been atempting to do is access the the Text, Font and Color properties with the code listed below. I can access the text, but color and font properties im not able to get. The code executes, but the color and font values are not correct. The bottom line is that I dont fully understand the seriesCollection is implemnted for the legend. If anyone knows I would appreciate any comment. Tony

For i = .SeriesCollection.Count To 1 Step -1
With .SeriesCollection(i)
oChart.TrendLegend.SetText(i) = .Name
oChart.TrendLegend.SetColor(i) = .Color
oChart.TrendLegend.SetVisible(i) = True
oChart.TrendLegend.SetFontSize(i) = .size
ActiveChart.Legend.LegendEntries(i).Select
With Selection
Call oChart.TrendLegend.SetPosition(i, .Width, .Height, .Top, .Left)

End With
next i

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Well loking at the legend that the various series are say red, blue and green. When the colors are accessed every entry is the same pale grey. The font values are always 10, regardless of the size you set them to by using the the menu acess to the property.
