In PowerPoint 2007, insert a object with type "Microsoft Office Excel Chart".
If double click on the chart, a warning message always pops up:

"To edit this chart using the new features available in the 2007 Microsoft
Office system, you must first convert it to the 2007 Office system format.
Do you want to convert this chart to the new format?"

Is there a way to disable this warning message?? Because I need to add
"Excel.Chart" to the presentation, and I would not like the user to see this
message every time when the chart is double-clicked.

Any advice please?

Thanks,

Is the Excel Chart that you're adding an Excel 2007 file or Excel 2003?

Hello Glenna,

Sorry for late reply.

I added the chart by using:
oShape = oChartSlide.Shapes.AddOLEObject(Left:=120, Top:=110, Width:=480,
Height:=320, ClassName:="Excel.Chart", Link:=1)

Which is the same thing as adding a Excel chart in PowerPoint 2007 using
"Insert" -> "Object" -> "Microsoft Office Excel Chart"

I would think the added Excel chart is in Excel 2003 format.

I also noticed in Word 2007, when an "Microsoft Office Excel Chart" object
is double clicked on, there is no such a pop-up.

Thanks,

Lihong
