Syntax

expression .Source

expression A variable that represents a PublishObject object.

Remarks

If the SourceType property is set to xlSourceRange, this property returns a range, which can be a defined name. If the SourceType property is set to xlSourceChart, xlSourcePivotTable, or xlSourceQuery, this property returns the name of the object, such as a chart name, a PivotTable report name, or a query table name.

Example

This example determines the unique name of the first chart (in the first workbook) saved as a Web page, and then it sets the Boolean variable blnChartFound to True. If no items in the document have been saved as Chart components, blnChartFound is False.

blnChartFound = False 
For Each objPO In Workbooks(1).PublishObjects 
 If objPO.SourceType = xlSourceChart Then 
 strFirstPO = objPO.Source 
 blnChartFound = True 
 Exit For 
 End If 
Next objPO
