Good thought, but at the time the end plot event is fired, the plot settings are returned to the previous settings (if not applied to the layout). and the returned values would be wrong. The ObjectModified used to work in 2004 and earlier, but since the plotting is totally different in 2005, I summise that something got broken. I am hoping that someone in cyberspace has had the same issue and a fix. If tracking the plots is not accurate, it throws the billing for plots into a questionable arena. Perhaps vb dotnet might work better, do you know?
