[AccessD] Working with an Excel Chart from Access (Automation) - How to Create Different Chart Types

All,

I have just started to experiment with "Windows Automation" code.

I have a small Access 2007 application that uses a Record Set to
populate the cells in an Excel spreadsheet and then automatically create
a simple chart (in Excel).  This all works nicely.

Here is the Access VBA code that adds the Chart

XLSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select

I would like to be to control the "Type" of Chart that is generated in
Excel.  

I recorded an Excel Macro while in Excel to see the code that Excel
uses.  I then tried to use this code in Access VBA, but did not have
luck.

Does anyone have an example of how to create an Excel Chart in Access
VBA and be able to control the Chart type?

Thanks for your help.

Brad
