I need to copy chart1 and chart2 from excel to powerpoint.
I have multiple sheets and I am doing this:

VBA Code:
Sub ppt()
Dim r As Range
Dim app As PowerPoint.Application
Dim currentSlide As PowerPoint.slide
Dim Xchart As Excel.ChartObject

Dim WS_Count As Integer

On Error Resume Next
    Set app = GetObject(, "PowerPoint.Application")
    On Error GoTo 0
'Open PowerPoint if not active
    If app Is Nothing Then
        Set app = New PowerPoint.Application
    End If
'Create new presentation in PowerPoint
    If app.Presentations.Count = 0 Then
        app.Presentations.Add
    End If
'Display the PowerPoint presentation
    app.Visible = True
   
Dim i As Integer

    WS_Count = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   
    'Assign range to variable r
   
    'if powerpoint is closed
    If app Is Nothing Then Set app = CreateObject(class:="PowerPoint.Application")
   
    'if powerpoint is open
    Set app = GetObject(class:="PowerPoint.Application")
   
    Set presentation = app.Presentations.Add

   
    For i = 1 To WS_Count
        'MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Name
        If ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Name ="Graphs" then
            'I am getting the remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable in the next line
            app.ActivePresentation.Slides.Add app.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count + 1, ppLayoutText
            app.ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide app.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count
            Set currentSlide = app.ActivePresentation.Slides(app.ActivePresentation.Slides.Count)
            Chart1.Copy
            currentSlide.Shapes.PasteSpecial(DataType:=ppPasteMetafilePicture).Select
           
        EndIf

I am getting the remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable
I am comparing the sheet name to a string, so that I can copy Chart1 from all the sheets, with a specific name.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
I tried this code, and I get the following error:
VBA Code:
The item with the specified name wasn't found.

This is the code that I used:
Code:
Sheet2.ChartObjects("Chart1").Chart.ChartArea.Copy

Please help me fix this error.
Thanks in advance.
