I am creating several charts and I get an error when I try to add a title to some graphs.

Code:
        'Graph
        With Sheet1.ChartObjects.Add(Left:=390, Width:=375, Top:=10, Height:=225)
        .Chart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheet22.Range("A1:R2")
        .Chart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
        .Chart.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "SC1 Downtime " & StartDate & "-" & EndDate
        .Chart.SetElement (msoElementPrimaryValueAxisTitleRotated)
        .Chart.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Text = "Total Hours"
        End With
        
        With Sheet1.ChartObjects.Add(Left:=775, Width:=375, Top:=10, Height:=225)
        .Chart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheet22.Range("A3:R4")
        .Chart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
        .Chart.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "SC2 Downtime " & StartDate & "-" & EndDate
        .Chart.SetElement (msoElementPrimaryValueAxisTitleRotated)
        .Chart.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Text = "Total Hours"
        End With
        
        With Sheet1.ChartObjects.Add(Left:=390, Width:=375, Top:=245, Height:=225)
        .Chart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheet22.Range("A5:R6")
        .Chart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
        .Chart.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "SC5 Downtime " & StartDate & "-" & EndDate
        .Chart.SetElement (msoElementPrimaryValueAxisTitleRotated)
        .Chart.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Text = "Total Hours"
        End With
        
        With Sheet1.ChartObjects.Add(Left:=775, Width:=375, Top:=245, Height:=225)
        .Chart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheet22.Range("A7:R8")
        .Chart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
        .Chart.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "SC4 Downtime " & StartDate & "-" & EndDate
        .Chart.SetElement (msoElementPrimaryValueAxisTitleRotated)
        .Chart.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Text = "Total Hours"
        End With
        
        'Graph Line
        With Sheet1.ChartObjects.Add(Left:=390, Width:=375, Top:=480, Height:=225)
        .Chart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheet8.Range("T" & iStart & ":T" & iEnd)
        .Chart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
        .Chart.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "SC1 " & StartDate & "-" & EndDate
        .Chart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = Sheet8.Range("B" & iStart & ":B" & iEnd)
        .Chart.Axes(xlCategory).CategoryType = xlCategoryScale
        .Chart.SetElement (msoElementPrimaryValueAxisTitleRotated)
        .Chart.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Text = "Inch2/min"
        End With
        
        With Sheet1.ChartObjects.Add(Left:=775, Width:=375, Top:=480, Height:=225)
        .Chart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheet9.Range("T" & iStart & ":T" & iEnd)
        .Chart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
        .Chart.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "SC2 " & StartDate & "-" & EndDate
        .Chart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = Sheet9.Range("B" & iStart & ":B" & iEnd)
        .Chart.Axes(xlCategory).CategoryType = xlCategoryScale
        .Chart.SetElement (msoElementPrimaryValueAxisTitleRotated)
        .Chart.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Text = "Inch2/min"
        End With
        
        With Sheet1.ChartObjects.Add(Left:=390, Width:=375, Top:=515, Height:=225)
        .Chart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheet10.Range("T" & iStart & ":T" & iEnd)
        .Chart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
        .Chart.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "SC5 " & StartDate & "-" & EndDate
        .Chart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = Sheet10.Range("B" & iStart & ":B" & iEnd)
        .Chart.Axes(xlCategory).CategoryType = xlCategoryScale
        .Chart.SetElement (msoElementPrimaryValueAxisTitleRotated)
        .Chart.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Text = "Inch2/min"
        End With
        
        With Sheet1.ChartObjects.Add(Left:=775, Width:=375, Top:=515, Height:=225)
        .Chart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheet11.Range("T" & iStart & ":T" & iEnd)
        .Chart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
        .HasTitle = True
        .Chart.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "SC4 " & StartDate & "-" & EndDate
        .Chart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = Sheet11.Range("B" & iStart & ":B" & iEnd)
        .Chart.Axes(xlCategory).CategoryType = xlCategoryScale
        .Chart.SetElement (msoElementPrimaryValueAxisTitleRotated)
        .Chart.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Text = "Inch2/min"
        End With
The first 4 graphs are executed perfectly, but when I got to the fifth, I get an error on the line which adds the title:

"This object has no title"

Does anyone know why this happens on that particular graph (and all others after it). I used the same line in previous charts and it worked just fine.

Thanks!!
 
2003 as well.

Its amazing, I restarted my system and the code worked without any changes from my original post.... I just hope it wont do this again.

Thanks for the help :)

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
I came back to this project today and I am getting an error again. This is very strange because it was working well for the first couple of hours through testing but then started giving me an error again.

Here is the code:

Code:
With Sheet1.ChartObjects.Add(Left:=390, Width:=375, Top:=25, Height:=225)
        .chart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheet22.Range("A1:L2")
        .chart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
        .chart.HasTitle = True
        .chart.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "REVERB1 Downtime " & Me("Month").Value & "/" & Me("Year").Value
        .chart.SetElement (msoElementPrimaryValueAxisTitleRotated)
        .chart.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Text = "Total Minutes"
        .chart.Legend.Delete
        .chart.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture
        End With

I have a lot of different graphs. Some run fine without the "hastitle = true" line and others get an error. Also, if I take out the "hastitle = true" line from where i get an error it still doesn't help.

Ant ideas?

Figured out why sometimes it worked and sometimes didn't.

Me("Month").Value and Me("Year").Value are invalid since I changed variable names to cboMonth and cboYear to make my code more readable in another area.

Silly mistake.

Thanks for all of your help Andrew Poulsom
