Thanks. I'll minimize the app to the bare bones that will demonstrate
the failure. I've been through hundreds of forum threads about OLE
events not firing, but not a one of them addresses the loss of a chart's
events. I have to continue remembering that a chart is not an
'ordinary' OLE... it's what Microsoft calls "an orphan" routine in terms
of event handling... you have to build a new class to contain the chart,
then enable the events by "set"ing the object as a new events class.

If you register with http://stackoverflow.com you can start a thread
on that topic.

For a list of recent excel-vba questions on stackoverflow, see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/excel-vba.

To search for specific stuff on stackoverflow, use google and
include phrase site:stackoverflow.com within the search.
Here are two search string examples --

ole chart "excel-vba" site:stackoverflow.com

returns 78,800 results, so it would take a while to decide if your
question has been answered. But

ole chart object new events class "excel-vba" site:stackoverflow.com
-hottest -newest -Unanswered -"recently active" -"Highest Voted"

(in the google search string box) returns only 27 results, so in less
than a minute you can decide whether it's been answered.

At http://stackoverflow.com/questions/178738/onclick-in-excel-vba
see comments like "to trap repeated clicks on the same cell, you need
to move the focus to a different cell" and "SelectionChange ... should
.... firing any time the user clicks anywhere".
