unwanted symbol on charts

[bkelly]

I just upgraded from Excel 2003 to 2010 under Windows XP, XY scatter plots. When I run some macros that generate charts some of the charted lines have unwanted symbols on them. Some chart lines, not all. At regular intervals along these lines at 16 positions in this particular chart, there are four small diamonds connected with lines in a square. Two diamonds above the charted point, two below. Together the size of the four is a bit bigger than the size of one character in the legend text of the chart.

While typing this question I noticed that when the focus changes to this Mr. Excel window, the markers dissapear. As soon as I click back in the chart they re-appear. I have been unable to find where these are defined.

What are they? How do I get rid of them using VBA code?

Is there a tutorial to help people that are migrating Excel VBA code up to 2010?

Well, it just sounds like selected object markers. Do they disappear if you select a cell on the sheet for example?

I am not sure what you mean by a cell in the chart, but they do disappear when the chart is selected and re-appear when another window is in focus. They are only on one trace and don't seem to move to the other traces. Its a minor anoyance.
Thanks for your thoughts.
