Fellow sufferers!

The 2nd line below fails (run-time error 1004):

Code: 
   Set cht = Sheets("Approval (F3)").ChartObjects.Add(0, 0, 300, 300).Chart
    cht.Activate

Why can I not activate a chart I just created?!?

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.

You would need to activate the container shape like this:

Code: 
 cht.Parent.Activate

assuming you actually have a need to activate it at all.
