Curse you excel!! I save a page as a webpage, choose save graph only (above the box that has a checkbox to add interactivity) and excel autmatically names the .gif that is produced AND controls where it goes in my files (creating a file in the process).
Here is how to create my problem: Make a new workbook, and delete sheet 1 and 2. Make a graph (the data can be on the same page but mine is in a separate master workbook.) Save as Webpage. Choose to publish/save graph only. Give it a name (say JacksStats)
Excel creates a file called "JacksStats_Files" and and html doc saved as "JacksStats" Inside the the file "JacksStats_Files" are 2 items: (1) "filelist" and (2) "Book1_1884_image001" (or whatever your excel names it)
This image (naming) I need more control of. Basically I want a macro that saves 100 different graphs, on 100 different worksheets, and names each of these by name (MaryStats; FredStats, JoeStats, etc.) So when I ftp the file of (TeamStats, which has all individual 100 charts inside it) to my website, the updated graphs with each day's new info is always in the right place. But if I have to hand rename all these each day that would be impossoble. So, either:
(1) I need a way to control what excel names these image files AND to be able to control where it saves them (although I could work around that if I could just control the name) OR
(2) I need a whole new workaround-- I am having a hard time imagining what this could be but I am open to all suggestions! (I don't want the entire websheet "Jack's stats, because excel saves with lots of other gunk and I want control over how the and where the gif is placed on my webpage. so in theory it is best if I get control over the gif and not use the filelist, the html page, the extra file folder and the image...)
Thanks!!!
