Edgar,
I thought we resolved this before, or it wasn't you ? :)
ApplyDataLabels is a method not an object and Type is parameter name of it not a property. In VFP you can't use named parameters but positional.

ApplyDataLabels syntax :
expression.ApplyDataLabels(Type, LegendKey, AutoText, HasLeaderLines)
expression Required. An expression that returns a Chart, Point, or Series object.

All parameters are optional. If you omit anyone it uses the default. ie: If a method has 7 parameters and you only want to define 2nd and 4th :
..SomeMethod(,Par2,,Par4)

.ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).ApplyDataLabels(3)

However this call might still fail if type-3 is unavailable for the chart type (percent labels is only available for pie and doughnut charts).
