Is it an embedded chart object?
Where did you get it from?
Select the chart, press ALT+F11 to open the VB Editor. Press CTRL+G to open the
Immediate Window. Enter this line and press Enter:
?activechart.ProtectSelection
it will return False if it isn't protected.
Enter this line and press Enter:
?activesheet.protectcontents
it will return False if it isn't protected.
If this doesn't clarify things, post back.
