Automatically Update / Replace Chart object in Report?

Hi, I have several reports with charts whose chartTitle, Axes and so on are set from vb. I created the charts I wanted in a form and then copied the chart to a report. Those reports are exported as snapshots and then emailed.

I thought this worked rather well until I discovered the chart object properties in the report did not update from job to job.

After doing so reading it appears that the chart object is static in a report and cannot be updated.

This apparently being the case, is it possible to delete the old chart in a report and import a new chart when the report is opened? The form containing the original chart is always open when the report is run so I am wondering if something like this would work.

Any help would be appreciated.
