No MaximumScale in Line Chart Category Axis - what to use instead?

I have the following code that returns an error, "Method 'MaximumScale' of object 'Axis' failed", on the line in red:

Code:
    With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 3").Chart
        [COLOR="#FF0000"]dblXScale = (.Axes(xlCategory).MaximumScale - .Axes(xlCategory).MinimumScale) / LArea.Width[/COLOR]
        dblYScale = (.Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale - .Axes(xlValue).MinimumScale) / LArea.Height
    End With

I've been told that line charts don't have the MaximumScale method on the Category axis. Is there a method that can be used instead that returns a similar value? This code is part of a Sub that sets the location of a TextBox shape based on where the mouse is.
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
It turns out the MaximumScale method was failing because there was non-numeric data in the axis. I changed the approach and got it working.
