XL2000: Page Fault When You Add a Shadow to a Series in a Surface Chart

If you run a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro that attempts to add a shadow to a series in a chart, you may receive the following error message: If you click Details, you receive an error message similar to the following:

You cannot add a shadow to a series in a 3-D Surface chart in Microsoft Excel.

To work around this behavior, do not use a macro to attempt to add a shadow to a series in a 3-D Surface chart. If you do not know what type of chart you will be working with, you may need to modify your macro so that it checks the type of the chart before attempting to add a shadow to a series within the chart.

The line of Visual Basic code that causes the error message to occur is similar to the following:

ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Shadow = True
