 WCChart - How to create Horiz Line, problem with Displaying Markers

Hello,
I am trying to create a line chart.

What I want:
1.A constant horizontal line at 1.966 accross the entire grid
2.A constant horizontal line at 1.954 accross the entire grid
3.A constant horizontal line at 1.961 accross the entire grid
4.A varying linechart with circle markers

Problem:
I could not find a way to specify a constant horizontal line at a specified
position on the chart.

Tries: Create a constant series at specified values.  Problem displaying
markers on one series and not on another.  Which ever type is defined last
sets the Marker.Type for the all the series in the chart.

At an attempt to create a markerless horizontal line I  first tried to set
the series Type= chChartTypeLine. Markers appeared on the chart anyway.

Then I tried to let the chart type have markers and then set the marker
style to none.Type = chChartTypeLineMarkers  .Marker.Style =
chMarkerStyleNone This did not work either I still saw markers on everything
or markers on nothing depending upon order of the series.

Please find the attached snippet that documents the problem. Any help is
much appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

To run the following snippet: Add the Microsoft Office Components 9.0
1. Open a new project standard.exe
2. add a ChartSpace component
3. Size the ChartSpace component rather large on the form.
4. Select View Code and Add the following code

Private Sub Form_Load()
    'Create arrays for the x-values and the y-values
    Dim xSnums As Variant, yUprLim As Variant, _
        yActual As Variant, yLwrLim As Variant

    xSnums = Array("sn001", "sn002", "sn003", _
                    "sn004", "sn005", "sn006", _
                    "sn007", "sn008")

    'Attempt to create a horizontal line in the chart with a series
    yUprLim = Array(1.966, 1.966, 1.966, 1.966, _
                   1.966, 1.966, 1.966, 1.966)

    yActual = Array(1.961, 1.962, 1.963, 1.961, _
                   1.961, 1.964, 1.959, 1.958)

 'Attempt to create a horizontal line in the chart with a series
    yLwrLim = Array(1.954, 1.954, 1.954, 1.954, _
                   1.954, 1.954, 1.954, 1.954)

    'Create a new chart
    Dim oChart As WCChart
    ChartSpace1.Clear
    ChartSpace1.Refresh

    Set oChart = ChartSpace1.Charts.Add

    'Add a title to the chart
    oChart.HasTitle = True
    oChart.Title.Caption = "VT - Storm Tolerance Tracking"

    Dim oSeries As WCSeries

    'Add a series to the chart with the xSnum and yUprLim value
    'from the arrays and set the series type to a line chart
    Set oSeries = oChart.SeriesCollection.Add
    With oSeries
    'Attempt to create a horizontal line without markers
       ' .Type = chChartTypeLineMarkers
       ' .Marker.Style = chMarkerStyleNone
        .Type = chChartTypeLine
        .Caption = "UprLim 1.966"
        .SetData chDimCategories, chDataLiteral, xSnum
        .SetData chDimValues, chDataLiteral, yUprLim
        .Line.Color = "green"
    End With

    'Add a series to the chart with the x-values and UprLim value
    'from the arrays and set the series type to a line chart
    Set oSeries = oChart.SeriesCollection.Add
    With oSeries
        'Attempt to create a horizontal line without markers
       ' .Type = chChartTypeLineMarkers
       ' .Marker.Style = chMarkerStyleNone
        .Type = chChartTypeLine
        .Caption = "LwrLim 1.961"
        .SetData chDimCategories, chDataLiteral, xSnum
        .SetData chDimValues, chDataLiteral, yLwrLim
        .Type = chChartTypeLine
        .Line.Color = "green"
    End With
    ChartSpace1.Refresh
    'Add a series to the chart with the xSnum and y-values
    'from the arrays and set the series type to a line chart
    Set oSeries = oChart.SeriesCollection.Add
    With oSeries
        .Type = chChartTypeLineMarkers
        .Marker.Style = chMarkerStyleCircle
        .Caption = "PartNum: This  Operation: That   "
        .SetData chDimCategories, chDataLiteral, xSnum
        .SetData chDimValues, chDataLiteral, yActual
        .Line.Color = RGB(255, 75, 1)
        .Points(2).Interior.Color = "green"

    End With

    'Add a value axis to the right of the chart for the second series
    oChart.Axes.Add oChart.Axes(chAxisPositionLeft).Scaling, _
        chAxisPositionRight, chValueAxis

    'Format the Value Axes
    oChart.Axes(chAxisPositionLeft).NumberFormat = "0.0000"
    oChart.Axes(chAxisPositionLeft).MajorUnit = 0.001
    oChart.Axes(chAxisPositionBottom).HasMajorGridlines = True

    'Show the legend at the bottom of the chart
    oChart.HasLegend = True
    oChart.Legend.Position = chLegendPositionBottom

End Sub
