VBA copying images to PPT

I have been using the below function to copy images to excel for a long time.  I have always used the named range to copy the chart.  Now I want to change it so that it selects the actual chart and not the range around the chart.  

This is the code I was using

 

Range(strRange).Copy
  Range("A1").Select
  Debug.Print Err.Description

This is what I want to change it to

     

ActiveWorkbook.Range("Excel" & strRange).Select
     ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(strRange).Activate
     ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
     Range("A1").Select

it seems to error out at the range select I am just using the range select to make sure I am on the right sheet that the chart is loacted on .  

Here is the full function

Function CopyRangeToPPT(oPPTApp As PowerPoint.Application, intSlideNum As Integer, intLeft As Integer, intWidth As Integer, intHeight As Integer, intTop As Integer, strRange As String) As String
    Dim shShape As Object, strError As String

    'delete shape if it exists on slide
    On Error Resume Next
    oPPTApp.ActivePresentation.Slides("Slide_" & strRange).Shapes("ExcelSlide_" & strRange).Delete
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then CopyRangeToPPT = Err.Number & " " & Err.Description & ": " & strRange & vbCrLf
    Err.Clear
    ' Select the range then copy it.

    On Error GoTo 0
     ActiveWorkbook.Range("Excel" & strRange).Select
     ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(strRange).Activate
     ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
     Range("A1").Select
    
'        ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("strRange").Activate
'        ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
'
'
'    ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Slide1").Activate
'    ActiveChart.ChartArea.Copy
'
    

'    Range(strRange).Copy
'    Range("A1").Select
'    Debug.Print Err.Description

    ' Paste the range

    Set shShape = oPPTApp.ActivePresentation.Slides(intSlideNum).Shapes.PasteSpecial(ppPasteEnhancedMetafile)

    ''    oPPTApp.Run ("ResizeShapeSize")

    ' Align the pasted range

    With shShape
        .LockAspectRatio = 0
        .Left = intLeft
        .Top = intTop
        .Width = intWidth
        .Height = intHeight
        .Name = "ExcelSlide_" & strRange
    End With
    
   
End Function
