VB Macros for Charts - Fails (Office 2003 on WInXP Sp2)

[Deepak]

Hi,
Cant underatand why some plots go through fine, some fail....this is portion
of chart plotting. I didnt specifically want to include a huge vb macro in
here.
It fails at the line: Source:=Sheets(str2).Range("A1:A290,K1:K290,L1:L290")
saying subscr out of range.
My A, K and L cols have floating point data (in the form of XX.YY) and
values start from row#3. So, A(1,1) A(1,2) have column heading (string). Same
with K(1,1) K(1,2) and L(1,1) and L(1,2)
Sometimes it runs fine. I can plot. Everything is perfect. Some plots are a
problem. Don't know why. No data exceeds row# 290. Yes - I have checkd it a
hundred times... Thanks.

str2 is a string parameter Im passing from another macro. its basically a
filename and harmless. same with str3 and str1....if you find them.

.....
Range("A1").Select
Range("A1:A291").Select
Range("A1:A291,K1").Select
Range("K1").Activate

'Range("A1:A290,K1:K290,L1:L290").Select
'Range("A:A,K:L").Select
'Range("L1").Activate



Range("A1:A290,K1:K290,L1:L290").Select
Range("L1").Activate
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
ActiveChart.SetSourceData
Source:=Sheets(str2).Range("A1:A290,K1:K290,L1:L290")


With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "xStat vs TMC (Average)"
.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Time"
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Speed"
End With

'
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
str3, FileFormat _
:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="",
ReadOnlyRecommended:= _
False, CreateBackup:=False

.....

What the error message is telling you is that it can't find a sheet named
str2. So whatever that variable equals is not recognized by VBA as a sheet
name nor index number. That is where your problem lies, not in the length of
the data in the columns.
