This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures.

To include a legend in the chart, either omit the HasLegend argument or include the argument as in the following example:
   HasLegend:=True
				
-or-
   HasLegend:=1
				
To create a chart without a legend, use one of the following two methods.

Method 1: Omit the HasLegend argument of the ChartWizard method and include the following line after the ChartWizard statement:
               ActiveChart.HasLegend = False
				
Method 2: Set the HasLegend argument of the ChartWizard Method as follows:
               HasLegend:=2
				
NOTE: Setting the HasLegend argument of ChartWizard to FALSE will result in the following error message:
Run-time error '1004':
ChartWizard method of Chart class failed
