reset chart names

I have a VBA function that will copy 12 charts from various workbooks into a
single workbook. I run this macro once a month. Before I run the macro I
delete all the charts from the single workbook. After running the macro I
notice that the chart names (e.g. 1,2,3,...) increase by the number of charts
I copy. For example when I first ran the macro the charts in the single
workbook were named 1 ..12. After deleting the charts in the single workbook
and running the macro again the charts are named 13..24. Is there a way to
reset the chart names so they are always 1..12 in the single workbook?

After deleting the charts, and all shapes on the sheet (if you want to keep
any temporarily cut/paste them to another sheet), save the workbook, close
it, reopen it. That's the only way I know to reset the object counter.
