5. Add the following code to Form1:

      Private Sub Command1_Click()
        'Change the Size and Style of the Marker for the First Series
        With MSChart1.Plot.SeriesCollection(1).DataPoints(-1).Marker
           .Style = VtMarkerStyleCircle
           .Size = 100
        End With
      End Sub

      Private Sub Form_Load()
        'Make the Marker for the First Series Visible
        MSChart1.Plot.SeriesCollection(1).DataPoints(-1).Marker.Visible = _
           True
      End Sub

6. Press the F5 key to run the project.
