When I was moving my keyboard, I must have accidentally hit something that loaded a charting creation sheet over my datasheet. Now everytime I open my data sheet file the charting file is on top of my data sheet file and I cannot get rid of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Skip -- Yes I Have. The only close symbol closes the application and when I reopen the file the only thing visible is the chart template. The clear botton on the chart keyboard only eliminates elements on the template. I do not know where else to look. I tried Help and the MS knowlege base, but could not find anything that addreseed my problem. I should have said no when I initally saved it, but I was 80% done with my work and did not want have to redo it.
Thank you for responding to my post,

Right click on the chart - near the edge. Select Cut.
That's it.

There are various OBJECTS within the chart. As John has suggested, select near any outer edge to select the Chart Area object and then delete or cut.

Again - it has to be very near the edge. Even near the edge, if you click on one of the objects within the chart area (plot area, title, legend, etc.), the closest option you'll see is "clear". But if you click on an empty space near the edge, "Cut" will be an option.
