chartobject.add

The following code works; however, the chart is now placed in a different spot on the worksheet, and it's not as large as it was the last time I ran the program. I'd like to use ChartObjects.Add so that I can adjust the position and size of the chart, but I'm having trouble with the assignments. How would the code change?

Don't know about your code, but the code below will Size a chart to the cordinants of the listed cell range.

Sub SizeChart()
Dim MyRange As Range
Set MyRange = Sheets("Sheet7").Range("C3:I16")
' Position Chart to cell cordinants
    With ActiveSheet
        For I = 1 To .ChartObjects.Count
            .ChartObjects(I).Left = MyRange.Left
            .ChartObjects(I).Top = MyRange.Top
            .ChartObjects(I).Width = MyRange.Width
            .ChartObjects(I).Height = MyRange.Height
        Next I
    End With
End Sub
