Here we go -> hundred points to the person who can answer this one.
My program currently dumps data into excel and creates a chart. Now, for the hard part, how do i reposition that chart?
I'd even settle for code to cut and "paste-special" as a picture (even though this loses the link)...
Any ideas?

Cheers

Ken.

can you post some code, if you are using some kind of automation to Excel you should be able to move it.

Here is the code in it's entirety ... Good luck.

// choose a section and export to Excel
// at nominated address

var nRow = 1
var nCol = 1
var oExcel = new JOOLEObject("Excel.Application");
var xlColumns = 2;

oWorkBook = oExcel.Workbooks.Add;

// copy the data to the clipboard - need to find results.
ActiveDocument.Sections["Sheet 1"].Copy();

oExcel.Sheets.Item(2).Cells.Item(nCol).Item(nRow). Select;
oExcel.Sheets.Item(2).Paste;

oExcel.Sheets.Item(2).Rows.Item(nRow).Font.Bold = true;
oExcel.Sheets.Item(2).Rows.Item(nRow).Interior.Col orIndex = 34;
oExcel.Sheets.Item(2).Columns.AutoFit;

//
// Setup Page for graphs
//

oExcel.Sheets.Item(1).Select;

oExcel.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.Orientation = 2;
oExcel.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.CenterHorizontally = true;
oExcel.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftMargin = 0;
oExcel.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightMargin = 0;

// Set Columns
oExcel.Range("A:A").ColumnWidth = 69.57;
oExcel.Range("B:B").ColumnWidth = 2;
oExcel.Range("C:C").ColumnWidth = 69.57;

//
// Create Graph
//

oExcel.Sheets.Item(1).Select;
oExcel.Charts.Add;
oExcel.ActiveChart.ChartType = 52 //ColumnStacked

cRange = "A1:C238"
oExcel.ActiveChart.SetSourceData(2,oExcel.Sheets.I tem("Sheet 1").Range( cRange))
oExcel.ActiveChart.Location("Sheet 2",2);
oExcel.ActiveChart.HasTitle = 1;
oExcel.ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "?"
oExcel.ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Font.bold = true;


// Alter Legend and plot area
oExcel.ActiveChart.Legend.Select;
oExcel.Selection.Left = 285
oExcel.Selection.Top = 2
oExcel.ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select;
oExcel.Selection.Top = 16
oExcel.Selection.Width = 354
oExcel.Selection.Height = 195

// Move chart to desired position -> here is the problem
oExcel.ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select;
oExcel.Selection.Left = 385
oExcel.Selection.Top = 40

// Have tried these as well - no luck
// oExcel.ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 1").ShapeRange.IncrementTop("50")
// oExcel.ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 1").IncrementTop = -67.5

//
// Finalise
//

oExcel.Visible = true;

The code you have posted looks almost identical to the MS API for Excel - I guess this JOOLE stuff is just a wrapper for that - there is a working sample of similar code at http://www.greggriffiths.org/webdev/both/excel/ which has a link to the MS Excel API listings, where in you should find the functions you need to do this.

I've managed to find a solution :D(just for everyone's records) which is:

// Move chart up and to the left
oExcel.ActiveChart.Parent.Top=-50;
oExcel.ActiveChart.Parent.Left=-50;

The link you posted didn't provide any new information however ... bummer.
Cheers anyhow.
