I have a couple questions. Virginia is spelled "Virgina" on your map and I can't change the name. Also, when I mouse point to Hawaii it doesn't display the name like it does for the other states. Any suggestions? Thanks, Scott This was fun to do. I have a couple questions. Virginia is spelled “Virgina” on your map and I can’t change the name.

The data is sample data and the map geometries have been sourced from the recent release by Ordnance Survey in the UK. As you will see not all the legends have been completed at this time.

I have need to run this on XL2000 but the code fails with the error: Run-time error ‘1004′: The item with the specified name wasn't found. One might assume this to mean that I didn't have a shape named but in fact I just saved the XL2007 worksheet in XL2000 format and immediately ran it. I did check after the error appeared that the shapes were named and they are. Can someone give me some suggestions. Is the code different if using XL2000?

But it seems not so easy for us. But, could you do some work for us and provide us a Chart of Luxemburg with the county boundaries (comunas). We could of course provide your with the official graphs that are available. Can your make us an offer for such a job? Muito obrigado pela sua ajuda. M.

Took me some time, but this is my solution: Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = Range(Range("actRGScode").Value).Interior.ColorIndex + 7 Now it works with costum palette Never mind.

Took me some time, but this is my solution:

Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.SchemeColor = Range(Range(“actRGScode”).Value).Interior.ColorIndex + 7

Now it works with costum palette
