Pasting charts in the same document - avoiding new instance creation

[Frimousse]

Hi,

I am having a problem and I don't even know where to begin with that project. I have a sheet in with I have a chart. A VBA program sets an instance of word and then copy this chart at a specific bookmark inside a word template. Then the chart changes (I mean when the chart is copied and pasted, new data comes in - I do what I need to do and copy and paste again). What I need is a way to send this to the same sheet as the previous one (to a different bookmark). As you might be aware, when you open a template, a copy of the document is open (with a different name). At the moment, everything works as planned but the program keeps opening new documents for each new chart. I assume I have to look if an instance exist before I create or open a new one but I am not quite sure where to put it in the code and how to do it generally. Anyone done that before?

You could use the Dir command to look for a file name. If found, open the file and insert the chart. If not found, create a new document from the template.

I am sorry but for this one I am totally clueless as how it would like.
Can you give me an idea of how the "if" line would look like?
Thanks for yout input

Can you post the code you have?
