DDE - Chart.Wizard does not work in Office 2007

[chris]

In the access program (97,2000,XP, 2003) I was using DDE commands for sending
data to Excel and creating charts. For the chart I was using Chart.Wizard
which is faster than defining property by property the chart values. In 2007
this command is not executed. I don't receive an error but it does not work.

Is this command not available in 2007 ? Has it been replaced by sth else ?

Chris, I have run into the same problems with chart wizard and 2007. I
create charts now using code like:

Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=tempR, PlotBy:=xlColumns
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:=tempR.Parent.Name

where I have defined tempR as a range variable for what is to be plotted
